Church Leaders Urge Calm and Resilience in Sermons Following Trump’s Accident

Less than 24 hours after the shocking assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, pastors across the nation found themselves addressing their stunned and scared congregations during Sunday services. The incident, which occurred at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, left church leaders with little time to guide their congregations through this bloody moment in U.S. history.
At a conservative evangelical church in Visalia, California, the pastor’s Sunday sermon included a powerful reminder that trumpets have historically heralded judgment for Christians. The Rev. Joel Renkema emphasized that the accident involving Trump was also a trumpet blast, a clear and obvious message to our country. Renkema urged his parishioners to put an end to the culture of hate and demonization of opponents.

Despite not being known for his overt religiosity, Trump had already become a messiah-like figure for many hard-right Christians within his MAGA movement. The attack on him was viewed by some as an assault on Christianity itself. In the face of intense division in America, many church leaders issued urgent appeals for calm and unity.
“As Americans, we all have to be horrified today at what happened not too far from here in Butler last evening,” expressed the Rev. Kris Stubna during his Sunday remarks at St. Paul Cathedral, a Catholic parish in Pittsburgh.
