From PBS-The Nov. 5 shooting that left more than two dozen dead at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, has forced many churches across the country to grapple with how to boost security and keep congregants safe.
After the shooting, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Ellicott City, Maryland, decided to make a large banner with written prayers and words of support that will eventually be mailed to the people at the First Baptist Church.
The shooting in south Texas had brought up painful memories for the congregation. In 2012, a gunman opened fire in Saint Peter’s, killing the church’s co-rector, Mary Marguerite-Kohn, and its administrative assistant, Brenda Brewington. The gunman died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
