Presiding Bishop Michael Curry issued this statement on July 13, 2024, after former President Donald Trump was wounded at a mass shooting during a political rally in Pennsylvania. At least one person died and two others were injured.
"The way of love—not the way of violence—is the way we bind up our nation’s wounds. We decry political violence in any form, and our call as followers of Jesus of Nazareth is always to love. We pray for the families of those who were killed. We pray for former President Trump and his family and for all who were harmed or impacted by this incident. I pray that we as a nation and a world may see each other as the beloved children of God."
