We as the Diocese of Dallas share the world’s shock and abhorrence at the terrible act of violence at Pulse nightclub in Orlando this weekend. In our prayers we remember the victims who died, the wounded, and their families. We pray for God’s restraining hand against such acts of hatred, madness, and fanaticism, and that He would turn the hearts of those inclined to such senseless violence. May our nation be, by God’s grace, in our time a land of tranquillity and safety for all its people.

The Rt. Rev. George Sumner
Diocese of Dallas
