Revd Sally Hitchiner, founder of Diverse Church, shared a prayer on Premier's News Hour for all of those involved in the shooting in a gay club in Orlando, Flor
"Father God your hands reach around the whole world, your hands reach to every single human being.
"And we pray to this community now that your Holy Spirit would speak words of peace, words of compassion and hope, that you would bring light where there's darkness and that you would bring healing where there's been tearing down.
"And that the truth of your Son would speak even to the person who perpetrated these crimes.
"I pray that your love would overcome hate, and that you would help us as the Church to reach out in love and to listen and to engage positively with the LGBT community in their time of pain.
"In your name,
"Amen."
