The situation in Haiti is getting (as hard as it is to imagine) even more dire. The cholera epidemic is spreading, violence is spiraling and the fear of unrestrained mob violence is growing.
From ENS:
“In the midst of increasing violence in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince Dec. 9, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori assured that country of the Episcopal Church’s concern for its citizens.
‘Our prayers continue for the people of Haiti, particularly at this time of increased anxiety, uncertainty, and outbreaks of violence,’ Jefferts Schori said in a statement to Episcopal News Service. ‘May the Prince of Peace come speedily,’ she added, echoing the season of Advent.”
