Cleric Spell Question

[Joust]

I was looking at the 3rd level Cleric spell Magic Circle Against Evil. This magic circle (primarily providing an AC bonus and saving throw bonus) applies to all PC's within the 10' radius of the spell, and not just to the Cleric, correct?

There may be other spells where this question applies, but this one caught my eye. Your input would be appreciated.

Yes, the bonuses apply to everyone within the circle. And where Protection from Evil just prevents bodily contact, the Magic Circle prevents evil creatures from entering the spell area.
