It’s fine to be diverse, but it’s not fine to kill each other,” the preacher in Nashville proclaimed. After a mass shooting on Monday left three children and three adults dead at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, the prior minister at Covenant Presbyterian was questioned by a reporter if prayers were enough.
