Prayers for Killers as Slain US Hostage Remembered
More than 30 people gathered at the church of U.S. hostage Tom Fox to remember the Christian Peacemaker, whose body was found last week in a suburb of Iraq, and pray for his killers.
Fellow Christians remembered 54-year-old Fox at a special memorial held Sunday at the Hopewell Centre Meeting and offered their prayers of hope and forgiveness for the killers.
Bob Sekinger, a fellow member of the Hopewell Centre, where Fox would worship while home in Clear Brook on his four-month break from peace work in Iraq, said Fox knew the dangers but considered his risks minimal compared to the number of Iraqis who had been killed.
