On behalf of the 18 denominations that comprise the Ohio Council of Churches, I write to express condemnation of the firearm-related assassination attempt that injured Former President Donald J. Trump, claimed the life of a spectator, and injured two others during a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday, July 13, 2024.
We believe all people, regardless of party or perspective, must be able to express their political ideas without fear of violence or intimidation. It is abundantly clear to us that violence has no legitimate place in the realms of political discourse and in our society itself.
Mr. Trump, the family of the slain spectator, the injured, and the family of the shooter will be in our prayers.
With Hope,
Jack
