Episcopal Relief and Development is saddened by a series of terror attacks in London, which struck commuters during the morning rush hour today. Three blasts shook the city’s subway system and one hit a double-decker bus.

According to officials, at least 37 people died and as many as 700 were injured in the blasts.  Those numbers are expected to rise.

Robert W. Radtke, ERD President, said, “We are praying for the victims of the bombings and for their families.  ERD stands in solidarity with the Church of England and with all those affected by today’s tragedy.”

ERD staff has contacted the Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury to offer condolences and pledge our support for people affected by the attacks. We will continue monitoring developments and stand ready to respond and provide emergency assistance if needed.

Please continue to pray for families affected by this disaster.
