RALEIGH, N.C.  – North Carolina ministers are holding a religious service outside the office of Sen. Kay Hagan to promote health care reform.

Congregants participating in the interdenominational service will bring petitions for the Democrat. Rev. Tom Rhodes of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship said the “religious community must do its part to make sure that Sen. Hagan and other elected officials understand that health reform is an urgent moral imperative.”

Rhodes said people of faith must speak out whenever people are suffering or dying due to problems with insurance.
