Beautiful service at Emanuel AME in Charleston! Playing now.

So wonderful to watch and hear them singing. The healing has begun.

1. Just three weeks ago we watched Beau Biden's funeral...

such sadness, such losses...it's almost too much to bear...

[MoonRiver]

2. Yes, almost too much.

So much tragedy.

[Stellar]

3. At this moment, I think they're singing in pain, not joy. n/t

[MoonRiver]

4. I think the joy of their faith comes through, but I changed the OP.

5. I hope the lost lives will not be in vain. That this time, something will change for the better.

Too often we just 'move on' after a week or so of saturation coverage.

RIP to all those wonderful people!

8. If I were the guard for Roof

he'd be forced to watch this

[MoonRiver]

10. Yes

6. The singing -

Only a piece of wood would not shed a tear . . .

I have on Jake Tapper's new program on CNN, and so far it's been a class act in Charleston. Makes me wish I could be a believer. If there is a God, I hope He/She rewards these people for their goodness.

9. Will our crying ever end?

So many innocents senselessly murdered.

[malaise]

7. Would be nice to watch without interruptions for commercials on CNN

Any links?

That said CNN is to be commended for carrying the service

[fadedrose]

11. They had a a ton of commercials BEFORE the service

But I haven't noticed any till just now. They had the opening songs, sung spectacularly, and a minister who preaches calmly and gently with no interruptions.

Am so glad to have seen it.

For those who missed this, I believe Tapper's State of the Union will be repeated some time later...If Tapper continues to show good taste and good will, his new program will succeed.

Eyes still moisting up...

16. GEM$NBComcast also carried it

during MHP's program - they're discussing this now

17. I greatly appreciate CNN's Tapper right now

He refused to say the racist terrorist's name and only referred to "the racist terrorist."
