There has been a lot of blog traffic about the attacks on London, and it was big news at Day Job today. A terrible day, and I’m sure we’ll all be keeping close to the story.
The initial report of the bus bombing put the blast close to the headquarters of the United Reformed Church. This made me wonder.
There’s no news on their site tonight, nor on the Unitarian and Free Christian Churches site. The Church of England site does have a messages from the Bishop of London and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
I checked a sample of American denominational websites — large and small, mainline and new, majority black and white, and of a number of traditions, plus some non-Christian sites — and only one had any coverage now: the Presbyterian Church (USA).
Just an observation when there’s nothing else one can do.
For what it’s worth, the British Red Cross is taking donations to aid the victims. The American Red Cross is not-they have not recieved a request for aid from the BRC.
