The General Secretary of the Canadian Council of Churches issued the following statement after the recent terrorist attacks across the globe:
“Let Us Pray:
– For victims of terror and fear
– For those whose lives have ended so suddenly
– For those who held them, helped them as they died
– For those who will always grieve
– For those whose lives are changed forever
– For those who continue to suffer and die around the world
– For those who fear and hate
Let Us Act:
– In tireless bravery, compassion and respect
– In new ways of concrete service to others
– In the active building of community
Let Us Love:
– With tenacity, humility and for the long term that is in our time and for the time of all generations.”
