Our prayers are with the LGBTQ community in Berlin, Germany, as a terrorist drove a van into a Pride festival event last night, and also attacked people with a machete.
One person was killed and at least 29 others injured. The suspect has been identified and is still at large and being sought by police.
An attack on one LGBTQ community is an attack on LGBTQ communities everywhere.
We pray for the victims in Berlin, for their families and for those responding to this tragedy as medics, police and community leaders. We pray also for the police as they search for the person or persons who wreaked this chaos on an event meant to celebrate the community, solidarity and joy of Pride.
Bring your comfort, your justice and your healing, dear God.
In the name of the One who brings peace. Amen.
