Presbyterian Bloggers: Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Responds to Virginia Tech shootings

Presbyterian Bloggers: Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Responds to Virginia Tech shootings:
"... Three members of the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance National Response Team (NRT) are on their way to the campus to be a presence and resource to the community. Over the years, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance has been very engaged in helping communities and student survivors that have been affected by school shootings.

NRT members have been in contact with Catherine Snyder, Presbyterian campus minister, George Goodman, of the Presbytery of the Peaks, and with Alexander Evans, Pastor of Blacksburg Presbyterian Church. Evans is also a chaplain with the fire department. ..."

Presbyterian Bloggers, an umbrella organization for such bloggers, had some news this morning that should be of interest to Presbyterians. I checked the Presbyterian News Service site, but there hasn't yet been a news release. I will keep looking and post a link when I find one.

Our prayers and compassion are needed here.
