SUPPORT FOR VICTIMS OF TERRORIST ATTACKS 
TO BE SENT THROUGH NORMAL CHANNELS
 American Baptists wishing to support relief efforts 
in the aftermath of the deadly terrorist attacks yesterday 
should do so through normal channels--One Great Hour of 
Sharing (line 7 of the Monthly Report of Mission Support), 
designating contributions "Terrorist Attacks Relief Efforts."
 Suicide plane crashes that damaged the Pentagon, 
destroyed the World Trade Center and brought down a 
passenger jet in western Pennsylvania have claimed the 
lives of more than 260 passengers and likely thousands on 
the ground at the Pentagon and in Manhattan. 
 At this time the specific manifestations of relief 
initiatives are being assessed and developed by state and 
federal officials and emergency response organizations.  
American Baptists will be kept apprised as soon as needs 
are clarified and opportunities for assistance are 
presented.
