CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) _ Gov. Nikki Haley has again worshipped with the congregation of Emanuel AME Church in Charleston where nine parishioners were killed during a Bible study back in June.
The Post and Courier of Charleston (https://bit.ly/1MXJaf3 ) reports the governor attended Sunday services with her husband and their two children. It was a low-key visit and the governor did not address the congregation.
But Bishop Richard Franklin Norris welcomed the Haley family and told the congregation he appreciated the visit and said he had never seen a governor so quickly and gracefully provide leadership.
The Haley family left the church immediately after the two-hour service. The governor had earlier attended the funerals for all nine of the Emanuel victims.
