UPDATE:
The Episcopal Café offers prayers for all affected by the explosions today at the Marathon.
Runners from Trinity Church Copley Square were in the marathon:
The seven runners from Trinity Church Copley Square who were running in the Boston Marathon to raise money for the church’s anti-violence initiative escaped injury in the two explosions that ripped through the race’s finish line that is within 300 yards of the church’s front porch.
The Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts announced that it will hold a prayer service with Holy Eucharist at 12:15 p.m. April 16 at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Boston, with Bishop Suffragan Gayle Harris presiding, “assuming downtown conditions and transit have regularized.”
