Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with blood, So that men cannot touch their garments." — Lamentations 4:14 (ASV)

They have wandered — God’s ministers, consecrated to His service, wandered through the city blinded by the insatiable lust of slaughter. It was a pollution to touch their garments.
