To the congregation of the Prince George Islamic Centre, it is with deep sadness in our hearts that we write this letter to you after the events that occured in Christchurch, New Zealand, where 49 people were killed and many others injured.
Our hearts break for you and your faith community in this tragic time.
We want to express our love and respect for you as brothers and sisters of faith and express our support for you as an important part of the community of Prince George.
We cannot let this type of evil shape who we are as people of faith. We need to take time to build relationships and educate ourselves about the other. At the centre of our faith lies hospitality and compassion for our neighbour.
May you find healing and wholeness in the arms of our loving God.
Yours in Love,
Grace Anglican Church, Trinity United Church, St. Michael and All Angels Church, St. Giles Presbyterian Church and Our Saviour's Lutheran Church
