I felt the collective pit in our community’s stomach as we entered the week of March 24. We were all affected by the brazen violence and the immense grief that followed.
Many of us felt compelled to allow that grief to lead to some sort of action. But what kind? Church leaders like me made phone calls, sent emails, and planned services.
We pointed to the helpers. We prayed for comfort. We looked to the Lord, to our faith families, and to our Bibles for truth that could buoy us amid overwhelming evil. We aimed to make space for communal grieving, and eventually, for hope and healing.
But what do we do now? Ought we work together for a better future? We who belong the stream of Christianity known as “evangelical” have championed the biblical truth that life is sacred because all humans are made in God’s image (Genesis 1:27). Therefore, many of us have supported so-called “pro-life” causes.
