With all those who love and reverence the gift of human life, I wish to express my horror and sadness at the terrible murder of a physician, Dr. George Tiller, in Kansas while he was at church with his wife.
Our reverence for human life and our belief in the diginity of every person calls us to reject this terrible act with all our hearts. I ask everyone to pray for the victim of this tragic violence and for his family. And let us pray that violence against human beings will be more and more rejected.
