RE St Paul's patronage
I'm curious if a source can be cited for the list of whom St. Paul is considered an intercessor for? — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit§ion=new talk]) 11:28, October 16, 2006 (CDT)
:This [http://www.catholic-forum.com/saintS/saintp12.htm Catholic site] mentions that St. Paul is patron of/against (under 'Patronage'):
:'''against snakes; authors'''; Bath Abbey; Bath, England; Catholic Action; Cursillo movement; diocese of Birmingham, Alabama; diocese of Calbayog, Philippines; diocese of Covington, Kentucky; '''evangelists'''; hailstorms; hospital public relations; journalists; Kavala, Greece; diocese of Las Vegas, Nevada; lay people; Malta; diocese of Maralal, Kenya; missionary bishops; Münster, Germany; musicians; Naumburg, Germany; newspaper editorial staff; archdiocese of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; poisonous snakes; Poznan Poland; diocese of Providence, Rhode Island; '''public relations personnel; public relations work; publishers; reporters'''; Rome; '''rope braiders; rope makers; saddlemakers; saddlers; snake bites; tent makers'''; Umbria, Italy; diocese of Worcester, Massachusetts; '''writers'''
: St. Paul is also considered patron of '''distance education''' (today this usually takes the form of e-/m-learning and technology enhanced learning). As [http://www2.plymouth.ac.uk/distancelearning/vidconf1.html this site] states, "''Distance education is not a new idea, and can be traced as far back as the first century. The Apostle Paul wrote to the early Christian churches, instructing them from a distance (even when he was under 'house arrest' in Rome). This was probably the first type of 'correspondence course', which was the only method of learning at a distance until the advent of the telephone.''"
