FNBCI Expresses its Sincere Sorrow to the Victim that was Shot

 ~ The National Black Church Initiative (NBCI), a coalition of 34,000 African American churches spanning 15 denominations and representing 15.7 million African Americans and its board of directors have ordered security for NBCI President Rev. Anthony Evans because of the NBCI stance against same-sex marriage. The shooting underscores the violence that has plagued the same-sex marriage debate.  The security measures are necessary to protect Rev. Evans and the NBCI stance for Christ and against same-sex marriage. 

Ms. Debra Coley-Bagley, chair of NBCI's Board of Directors says, "Rev. Evans is a brave Christian clergy who stands on the Word of God, and we would hate for him to be harmed by the forces of evil that support same-sex marriage.  We do, however, commend leaders of the gay community who have denounced the shooting of the staff member at the Family Research Council."
