Jonathan Edwards, General Secretary of the Baptist Union of Great Britain, sent a message of support over the weekend to Per Overgard, President of the Baptist Union of Norway:

 

Dear Per,

I want to assure you of the love and prayers of our churches after the horrifying violence that you have experienced in Oslo and on Utoeya Island.  We have been stunned and appalled by the news and we want to stand with you, our Baptist brothers and sisters, in this time of deep sadness and reflection.  I know that tens of thousands of Baptists in this country will be remembering you in their prayers today and the coming weeks.  May the Lord draw you together with a new urgency and depth and may you discover afresh the faithfulness and comfort of our Lord.

We treasure the many contacts that exist between our Unions and pray that even through this great sadness we will be brought even closer to one another.

With warmest Christian greetings.

Yours sincerely,

 

Jonathan
