Responding to Boston Tragedy

In this article, Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, senior religion editor, addresses the public's reaction to the terrible bombings that occurred in Boston. I think this article was well-written in the fact that Raushenbush acknowledges the anger that everyone is feeling towards the bombers, but he classifies the anger into demonic and holy. He encourages people to not let the short fiery demonic anger overcome their action in helping, because this anger is destructive to the soul. He explains that holy anger is motivational, that it motivates people to take action and help the victims.
