In a near reprisal of last
year's Sago mine tragedy, families have been distraught in the aftermath of the
mine collapse in Crandall Canyon
National Clergy Council president Rev. Rob Schenck (pronounced SHANK), representing
church leaders from Catholic, Evangelical, Orthodox and Protestant traditions,
is asking churches across the country to urge their members to intensify prayer
for six trapped miners in Utah and for their loved ones.
Mr. Schenck, who frequently visits Utah for preaching engagements, praised the
work of rescue teams and state and federal officials who have intervened in the
crisis. Mr. Schenck had special commendation for Utah senator Orrin Hatch whom
he knows personally and talks with regularly.
Mr. Schenck stated, "Senator Hatch cares deeply for people and especially
those of his own state. I know him to be a man who believes strongly in prayer.
He has shown extraordinary concern for these men and their families. He is on
site and praying for them and will stop at nothing to help. We need more public
officials like Senator Hatch at times like these."
