In this pastoral letter, Pastor Randolph discusses the scheduled December 3, 2026 firing squad execution of Major Nidal Hasan. Rooted in scripture, Lutheran confessions, and ELCA social teaching, the letter affirms mercy for the condemned while honoring Fort Hood's victims. All are urged to pray, advocate for clemency, and join a November forum—trusting that God, who redeemed thieves and persecutors, is not finished with anyone.
