I've been pondering how to respond to the bombs of yesterday. Firstly i want to offer my prayers for those killed, injured and traumatized by the events of yesterday. I also want to join with all the other voices in condemning the bombing, a cowardly, malice act that was an insult to Islam.
I also don't want to loose the importance of 'Make Poverty History' and the G8 summit that is happening today. The events of yesterday just increased my sense of urgency about what needs to be done by the G8 leaders and by us: the citizens of those G8 countries. It is tragic that at least 50 people were killed in the bombs, it would be even more tragic if this derailed the G8 as they fight against global poverty.
Please pray for those who suffered yesterday.
Please also pray for the G8 leaders as they work to prevent the suffering of tomorrow.
