On July 8th, former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot to death in Nara, Japan. We feel a strong sense of outrage over this violence and sincerely pray for the repose of Mr. Abe. God, please grant us a gift of true wisdom and maturity to resolve differences of ideas and positions not by violence or force, but with words.
