Murdered abortion doctor’s church prays for sanctuaries

WICHITA (RNS) The Kansas church where abortion provider Dr. George Tiller was shot to death reacted to the murderer’s guilty verdict in the killing by praying that houses of worship be places of peace.

“While these proceedings will obviously not bring George back, we trust in the promise of the resurrection and move forward in that hope,” wrote Pastors Lowell Michelson and Kristin Neitzel of Reformation Lutheran Church in a statement. “We pray that all places of worship will be sanctuaries — places of reconciliation, peace, and hope, setting the pace for a fractured world that so desperately seeks unity with God and one another.”

Scott Roeder, an anti-abortion activist who declared “I shot him” during his trial, was found guilty of first-degree murder for killing Tiller on Sunday morning, May 31, at Reformation Lutheran as he ushered congregants to their pews.
