Thank you, Pumla.  Yes for me as committed a Christian it's always been important to - to attend the church where biblical teaching is very sound.
Now I've - I've learnt from my teaching and also I've discovered for myself from my readings in the Bible that this wasn't a unique event. The church has suffered throughout the years but for you question,  how did I cope with the pain.  For me it was important to come to terms with my situation and you know the Bible teaches me that  I must not only love my neighbours but I must also love my enemies.
The Bible also teaches me that I must if I want people to show compassion towards me, I must be able and willing to show compassion and then I think for me the cherry on the top is what Jesus said on the cross when he said
Father forgive them for they  know not what they doing.
And I must have a loving spirit, I must have a forgiving spirit and I think that greatly helped me and assisted me in coping with my situation.
