"People in Iqaluit are shaken over the news that a weekend fire that extensively damaged the landmark St. Jude's Anglican Cathedral may have been set intentionally...."

Oh, that is so sad. It sounded like a beautiful church. The church leader's comment is revealing of his compassion towards others:

"I feel that somebody is in a lot of pain, because anybody that would set a church on fire [is] really hurting," said the church's leader, Capt. Ron McLean.

I pray that they are able to rebuild, and that this brings the community closer in fellowship and in faith.

This makes me feel sick to my stomach. I can't formulate my thoughts properly right now, I'm too angry. Maybe I'll try later.

One thing I will say is that this is a corporate sin of which we should all confess and repent.
