      Though he is a fugitive from the law, Saul Timisela is hiding in plain sight. In an act of public defiance, the 45-year-old Indonesian refugee failed to report to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Newark earlier this month to be deported. Instead, Timisela, one of an estimated 80 Indonesian Christians living in New Jersey who fled religious persecution in Indonesia, accepted sanctuary at the Reformed Church of Highland Park. The Rev. Seth Kaper-Dale has championed the cause of Indone...

      Two years after a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage failed in the New Jersey state Senate, the measure has been reborn, passing the Senate Monday by a vote of 24-16. Democratic leaders, including Senate President Stephen Sweeney, who previously abstained on the bill, called on legislators to back what they framed as a civil rights issue, but opponents of the bill said it would threaten traditional marriage. The state Assembly is expected to pass a similar bill on Thursday. Gov. Chris ...

Two years later, the controversy has moved from the Statehouse in Trenton into the halls of municipal complexes, where approved medical marijuana treatment centers have encountered local resistance. On Thursday, the five-person township committee for the small, rural town of Upper Freehold, in Monmouth County, gathered at Stonebridge Mid...
