QUOTE: "I applaud you for your grace and courage in coming today. I have come here to be with you to let you know there is hope. There is hope. ... If you think you're going to go back to whatever normal was, that's not going to happen. There is going to be a new normal." -Al Meredith, senior pastor of Wedgwood Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas, speaking to the congregation of First Baptist Church in Maryville, Ill., only one week after its pastor, Fred Winters, was gunned down during a Sunday morning worship service. In 1999, Meredith and the members of Wedgwood experienced a similar tragedy when a gunman opened fire on hundreds attending a youth service, killing seven and wounding seven more.
