This just came in a press release from the PCUSA Office of the General Assembly:
LOUISVILLE—Gradye Parsons, Stated Clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A), issued the following statement earlier this morning:
It is sad and shocking news to learn of the death of Brian Pugh, the brother of Robin Pugh, who is married to Bruce Reyes-Chow, Moderator of the 218th General Assembly (2008). Brian was one of three shooting victims in his work place yesterday (Friday) in Santa Clara, CA.
Such a senseless, violent act grieves the heart of God as surely as it does ours.
Please join me in prayer for Robin, Bruce, their entire family, and the other victims’ families as they walk through these very difficult days ahead.
May the grace and comfort of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us all.
