As an elder, Acts 20:28-29 speaks to me. As elders, they should be able to understand this without interpretation. The elders, as overseers, are tasked with protecting the flock. As elders, we understand to delegate and oversee this, rather than attempting to do every ministry, ourselves.
I am an elder and I am a RLEO, but they don’t take my advice seriously and all I share from Keith either. Some said that I am spreading fear instead of being ready, for me is more important, although nothing happened. But like Keith said: is better being ready than improvising at the last time.
My church has a safety and medical team. Communist states like Illinois encourages violence when the democrat politicians refuse to lock up violent criminals and sexual predators. people like pritzker know that’s the only place he’s getting votes so those people commit the same crimes over and over. All states with democrat governors are higher risk for attacks.
A dagger is likely the most dangerous of edged weapons in a hand-to-hand fight. Unlike single-edged knives, no matter where you grab it, it will poke or cut. It is hard to parry. A stick or baton is helpful, or otherwise control the arm that wields it.
The spiritual element of the attack is hard to discuss, but the word "tribal" would suggest the connection to shamanism?
My church is not prepare because they think God will protect and security is like a formality; due they ignore each logic idea

Exactly

Same here.
Thankfully our church has prepared for this very attack. Thanks to CWT for inspiring many churches to prepare for all types of attacks.

Would you recommend cameras in the sanctuary?
Excellent overview and guidance for improved readiness for the unexpected.
I noticed Amazon offers a "cut-resistent" long-sleeve shirt. I'm not sure how much it would help.

What is the best type of soft vest to wear as a pastor? Even though I carry, I would not have time to react to this kind of close attack.
Thank you for this update.
