Catholic and Anglican leaders in Birmingham, England, said they were praying for peace Monday after an attack that left one person dead and seven others injured.
In a joint statement Sept. 7, Archbishop Bernard Longley of Birmingham and his Anglican counterpart, the Rt. Rev. David Urquhart, said their thoughts were with those who were stabbed in the city in the early hours of Sunday morning.
"We pray also for their families and friends -- and for the emergency services and for all that they are called to do in response to these shocking events," they said.
West Midlands Police announced Sept. 7 that they had arrested a man, 27, on suspicion of murder and seven counts of attempted murder in connection with the stabbings.
