Another slaughter. Another grim repetition of well-choreographed political posturing. More slaughter, in consequence, forthcoming.
Your prayers are asked for the substitute teacher at St. Edmund’s Nursery School, who took Friday off to travel to Las Vegas for the ill fated country-music concert, becoming one of the shooter’s victims. She was in surgery Monday morning, and further news of her condition is not known.
This coming Sunday is an especially important time for the parish to gather as we offer gratitude to Darlene Porter as our out-going Head of School, and as we install Liz Westphal as our Fourth Nursery School Director.
We create a safe environment for the formation of our youngest children at St. Edmund’s. Our joy in that accomplishment will prevail despite the grim intrusion of events in Las Vegas, and we will also remember the dead and wounded at God’s Altar.
Some days cause me to hope the doctrine of hell and everlasting perdition signify a firm reality for those who give themselves to wilfull mayhem and destruction. This was one of those days.
Anglican Primates and our Presiding Bishop send condolence and call to action from Canterbury, where they are meeting for the Lambeth Conference of Anglican prelates HERE.
Faithfully,
