It’s been called the deadliest mass killing at a house of worship in modern U.S. history.
Our hearts and prayers break for those in #SutherlandSprings May God give a peace beyond understanding to all affected.

I just canβt imagine the heartbreak at this church. Most churches in America are this size. Small, tight-knit communities.

Pray for the victims of gun violence.
Pray we do not become numb to tragedy.
Pray we do not value our rights more than the lives of our neighbors.
Pray we as a nation wake to our ability to do something and repent of our inaction.

We grieve 4 Sutherland Springs. As we lift them in our thoughts/prayers, we need the moral courage to do something to prevent this insanity.

It’s tragic that we’ve normalized violence & mass shooting in our country. This is not normal. This is not okay. Be sad but also be angry.
β Eugene Cho (@EugeneCho) November 5, 2017
It is sacred to weep for those in Christ we have never met. They are our very own. Our flesh. Our bone. Our people. We share the same blood.

There’s a creeping evil around us. Worst thing is for good people to grow cynical or silent. Let your heart break. Then, do something.
β Joshua DuBois (@joshuadubois) November 5, 2017
Simple, dangerous facts. We have learned to live with too much hate in this country. And we have learned to live with too many guns.
β Joshua DuBois (@joshuadubois) November 5, 2017
Pick at least one and do your part to address: the hate, and/or the guns. Each of us can do something.

What a tragic loss. So many new martyrs of the faith on All Saints Sunday. https://t.co/bPJx7vfKMQ

These kind of violent events test people’s faith. Church shouldn’t be a place that you have to look over your shoulder for a shooter.
