I really don’t know anything about the church, but will look it up. I’ve had many family and friends that were Methodists and they were very good people.

When I heard the SPU President at the presser he invoked Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior at appropriate times. The kids gathered in prayer after they got outside of the shooting and at the church service last night as well as outside of the church service (because the church was overflowing) and formed prayer groups.

I’m a Christian (Catholic actually) and, unless they prove otherwise, I tend to believe the good in the people that believe in and love our Lord, which these kids seem to do.

I give a lot of credit to these kids that acted quickly to help others - - in addition to what I and others have reported up thread, I heard an interview with a student in a room when another student came in and told him to lock the door. They did and then the student that was in the room ripped the First Aid Kit off the wall to help the kid that came into the room that was bleeding (neck)then thinking about what he could do to go help others (the audio was cut off on the ratio, so I didn’t hear the rest).

I guess the bottom line for me is, believing in our Lord is great, saying prayers to him is great, and helping others is great; so, if these kids were instilled with that at home and are practicing it at school, I’m all for it. IMHO it sure beats school dropouts, you owe me, music that I don’t want my pre-teen nephew to hear, etc.

All the above is just my humble opinion and thoughts at this time. I understand that others may have different views and I accpet that (we have the 1st Amendment!).

Best,
