Bishop of Plymouth Responds to the Plymouth Shooting
The Bishop of Plymouth, the Right Reverend Nick McKinnel, has issued this statement in response to the mass shooting in Plymouth:
“Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has been injured or bereaved by this terrible shooting in Plymouth. It is horrific to think of it happening in our own city. St Thomas Church in Keyham and St Marks Church in Ford are open for anyone who would like somewhere to pray and reflect and someone to talk to. We stand with the community of Keyham. We are working alongside other local organisations and will continue to offer whatever pastoral and practical support we can. We think of Jesus weeping over the city of Jerusalem and the way in which God himself feels our pain and takes it on himself. We weep with those who weep.”
