Evangelical Alliance Call For Prayers & Peace for Victims of London Explosions

The Evangelical Alliance has solemnly reacted to the terrorist attacks that took place in London on Thursday morning’s rush hour. At least two have been confirmed dead and hundreds if not thousands injured or affected by the seven explosions that hit the London Underground system and a number of London buses.

In a statement released by the Evangelical Alliance UK (EAUK) the organisation called on its members to pray for the families of those killed and injured by the multiple explosions in London.

A spirit of peace and mercy was encouraged, and the EAUK urged people no to allow feelings of panic or revenge come to them.

The General Director of the Evangelical Alliance in the UK, Rev Joel Edwards, "We pray earnestly for those who have suffered loss or injury today and call on God to bind up the broken hearted. I have found Psalm 46 a great comfort at this time."

The Bishop of London has also commented on the tragic incidents that have been witnessed across England’s capital. Rev Richard Chartres said, "This is a grave day for London. Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured and the bereaved and also with the Emergency Services who have responded so rapidly. London's clergy have been working alongside the Emergency Services since early this morning and churches close to affected areas have been opened for shelter, aid and prayer."

The Evangelical Alliance will also soon be issuing pointers for those who want to pray during this distresses time and for its consequences.

Meanwhile, In a live statement at midday Tony Blair said, "It is reasonably clear that there have been a series of terrorist attacks in London. There are obviously people who have died. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families."

The London Underground network has now been closed until further notice and London Ambulance service and hospitals around the capital are dealing with the scores of people injured by the terrible events.
