Church: killing of aid worker is 'offence against God'

The United Reformed Church in Great Britain has condemned as "an offence against God" the assassination of Gayle Williams, a 34-year-old Christian aid worker in Kabul, and the chilling comments of those who said they killed her, reports Ecumenical News International.

The Rev. John Marsh, moderator of the general assembly of the United Reformed Church, said in a 21 October statement, "It is deeply sad and sickening that Gayle Williams has been deliberately targeted as a Christian, and gunned down in the streets of Kabul. She had been welcomed into Afghanistan, and was working with Serve Afghanistan, a trusted organization, bringing skilled assistance to people with disabilities."
