This murder appears to be the act of a misguided anti-abortion activitst. Please pray for the congregation at Reformation Lutheran Church as well as the family & friends of Dr. Tiller. On Pentecost Sunday we pray that the Holy Spirit will come into our broken and misguided world and bring the peace and compassion that Christ makes possible.
