Erin Murphy prays for peace in Ukraine at St. David's Episcopal Church in Austin, Texas, Monday, Feb. 28, 2022. The downtown church hosted the special Prayer Service for Peace In Ukraine in the wake of Russia's attack. Murphy, who volunteered at an orphanage in Kyiv, Ukraine, for three summers, was distraught about the children who are currently sheltering underground. "I have very deep connections to Ukraine," said Murphy, who also covered the 2014 conflict as a journalist. "I just have a lot of people who I'm really, really worried about. I grew up in the church. I don't know if I'm particularly religious but it's amazing what times like these do. I know this space is sacred for me. It's the closest sacred ground I could think of," she said.
