Gathering planned for clergy in wake of Virginia Tech shootings
Campus chaplain reaches out to students
By Mary Frances Schjonberg
[ENS] The Episcopal Church is continuing to help people connected to the April 16 killings on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (http://www.vt.edu).
Those efforts range from the continuing individual and corporate prayers of Episcopalians around the church to a planned April 21 gathering for area clergy at Christ Episcopal Church (http://www.christchurchblacksburg.org) in Blacksburg, Virginia Tech's home, where the Episcopal campus chaplain is spending most of his time being with students as they deal with their reactions.

Wealthy professionals and industry captains filled its pews and their money filled its collection plates. A multimillion-dollar endowment was built and the church's most prestigious families commissioned 10-foot-tall stained glass windows from Louis Comfort Tiffany to adorn its massive stone walls.
