The National Black Catholic Congress, Inc. (NBCC) and other Catholics throughout the United States are standing in prayer and solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Christ at the Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in Charleston, South Carolina, and the AME Church worldwide and with the people of the City of Charleston and the State of South Carolina.
In a recent statement, the NBCC honored the great significance that the Mother Emanuel AME Church has in the history of the unite States. NBCC members (as have Catholics and other Christians throughout the nation) recommitted themselves to work with all people of good will to be instruments of peace and workers for justice and to strive to continue to advocate for respect for the dignity of human life. These efforts are aimed at including honest dialogue about racism, its continued effects upon our nation, and action to overcome them.
The members of the Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church and their supports have been tremendous examples of a Christian response to the massacre that took place at this church.
