Bishop LaTrelle Easterling (STH ’04) Issues Comment on Key Bridge Collapse
The following is an excerpt from the article “Bishop Calls for Prayer Following Key Bridge Collapse,” by Bishop LaTrelle Easterling (STH ’04), published on March 26, 2024 by the Baltimore-Washington Conference of The United Methodist Church.
“Tragedies like these shake the foundation upon which we live our lives; we can take so much for granted. Watching the images of the bridge collapse, one can’t help but be moved by the fragility of our world. It makes us humble and vulnerable. But as we enter into Holy Week, we know that God is with us at all times and in all circumstances. God is with those who plunged into the water. God is with those who are being treated. God is with those who are performing rescue efforts. God is with the families awaiting news and clinging to hope. God is with us. That is our true foundation, comfort and strength.”
