Message from Bishop Hollerith:
By now you have heard that the people of Las Vegas, Nevada,
are suffering through a terrible tragedy - one that the news media is
defining as the worst mass shooting in US history. Please pray for those
who have died, those who mourn, and for healing of the injured. The
Diocese of Nevada is offering its healing ministry to the many affected
by this tragedy. Pray also for our nation, as we continue to be a
country plagued by gun violence.
Presiding Bishop Michael Curry and the Primates of the
Anglican Communion prayed to honor the victims of the shooting in Las
Vegas, Nevada:
Presiding Bishop Curry presented a video message here.
We were greatly distressed to learn of the dreadful events in
Las Vegas last night. The scale of the loss of life and the numbers of
injured is truly shocking. We are sending our deepest condolences to you
and to the people of your diocese - in particular, the people of Las
Vegas.
We are praying for the families and friends of those who have
died and for the many people who have been wounded. We remember, too,
everyone else caught up in this tragedy - including the emergency
services (first responders). We pray that the peace of the Lord Jesus
Christ will be with the people of Las Vegas as they endure this trauma.
