| Responding to Woolwich |
 |
| The events which happened in Woolwich on Wednesday have shocked the nation deeply. The unfolding drama graphically reported across the news media showed an horrific crime apparently perpetrated in the name of a faith. |
|
| In contrast to the disturbing news footage, a video released yesterday (see above) communicates the response of Christians who live and serve in Woolwich. |
|
| They speak of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who brings hope, healing and wholeness. They talk about a loving God who entered a broken world to fix broken lives. |
