Overcome evil with Good

The Rev Dr Richard Waugh, National Superintendent of the Wesleyan Methodist Church of New Zealand shares this statement;

“All New Zealanders are horrified by the tragic events at the mosques in Christchurch this afternoon. We repudiate such hateful action and hold onto the promise of Scripture which says, “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” It is appalling beyond words what has happened and our prayers, thoughts and practical generosity extend to all Muslim families suffering so terribly at this time. We pray for the Police, ambulance staff and hospital staff working so hard to bring some comfort.”

Note: Dr Waugh also serves as Chairman of Auckland Church Leaders Meeting and Chairman of National Church Leaders Aotearoa New Zealand Meeting.
