The Ekklesia website reports today (July 24, 2011) that Oslo Cathedral has become a significant center of mourning and reflection, following the horror of a car bomb attack and mass shooting in Norway that killed 93 people on July 22.
The Dean of the Cathedral -- which is in the Evangelical Lutheran tradition -- said that people of no fixed faith, Muslims, and those of other beliefs, as well as Christians, have been coming into the building to take in the terrible events in quietness and to offer prayers.
Anders Behring -- who has been arrested by Oslo police for the killings -- said he was "part of a crusade to fight a tide of Islam."
The violence -- Norway's worst since World War II -- has profoundly shocked the usually peaceful nation of 4.8 million people.
