Atrocity Hits Church
According to an article from CNN and other news sources on Wednesday, June 17, a gunman entered a historical black church in Charleston South Carolina shot and killed 9 people including the pastor.
The 5 foot 9, twenty something, white man was in the Charleston's Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church for about an hour before opening fire on the congregation. The six victims killed, three males and females, were attending a prayer & bible study. There were some survivors but names have not been released.
Police and FBI are considering this a racially motivated hate crime. According to CNN Charleston Mayor Joe Riley said, "The only reason someone would walk into a church and shoot people that were praying is hate.”
This AME Church has a long history since 1816 and has survived and overcome many obstacles in the past.
As a church body from every denomination let join with our church family and pray for the Charleston churches, its communities and the family involved. Let us pray that the gunman be turned into or found by the authorities within short hours. Let us bind up the hand of the devil in whole matter. Let’s as the church believe that this tragedy will be turn to the Glory of God.
