OCF Responds to University of Texas in Austin Shooting
ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP -- Regrettably the instances of violence occurring on college campuses have
increased in recent years. This trend continued today on the campus of the
University of Texas in Austin where a gunman fired multiple shots prior to
ending his own life in the Perry-Castaneda Library. Fortunately, no other
injuries have been reported. Orthodox Christian Fellowship offers its prayers
and support to those affected by this event and has begun taking steps to
address the situation.
In consultation with OCF first responders, the
OCF chaplain, Fr. Vasileios Flegas, Fr. Dave Lewis and members of the University of Texas OCF
Chapter will be meeting this evening at Milto’s Restaurant (29th and
Guadalupe, Austin) at 6:30pm
The Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF) is the official collegiate campus
ministry program under The Episcopal Assembly Of Canonical Orthodox Bishops in North America. Its mission is to support fellowships on college
campuses, whose members experience and witness to the Orthodox Christian Church
through community life, prayer, service to others and study of the Faith.
