Ottawa
To: Diocesan List <diocese at ottawa.anglican.org>






Like all Canadians, we are following today's news from Parliament Hill—just
blocks from our Synod office—with shock and trepidation. In this moment of
huge uncertainty, building lockdowns, evacuated streets, barricaded shopping
malls, and minute-by-minute updates, we draw strength and courage from our
faith and pray that this event will soon be over.



We trust in the professionalism of our police and armed forces. We pray for
the soul of the soldier who lost his life at the outset of today's incident.
We have faith in the resilience of those charged with countering acts of
violence in our land.



Please pray for all those at the centre of this situation and for a return
to calm in our homes, hearts and streets.





† John



The Rt. Rev. John H. Chapman
