(Pennsylvania)—Who can forget the horrific school shootings at the Nickel Mines Amish schoolhouse in Pennsylvania last October? Since then, the Amish community was deservedly given much media attention for their Christ-like forgiveness in the face of such catastrophic losses to their families.

Well, the Amish are in the news again, almost a year from the first anniversary of the shootings, for giving money to Marie Roberts, the widow of the mass murderer. (Photo: Schoolhouse just after the tragedy last October–AP)

The Nickel Mines Accountability Committee released a statement that said: "Many from Nickel Mines have pointed out that forgiveness is a journey, that you need help from your community of faith and from God...to make and hold on to a decision not to become a hostage to hostility."
