Rev. Tom Rosiello will be preaching this morning.
In our tradition we affirm the equal worth and dignity of every person. We proclaim all lives as sacred yet we witness senseless and unprovoked killing at an alarming rate. In the last week or two we witnessed the occurrence of at least three horrible shooting incidents on school campuses. Recent statistics reveal that 90 people die every day of gun violence in our country. Yet, in spite of this alarming rate of gun violence, which is killing children and innocent people, it seems that no one is willing to do anything about addressing the problem. When will enough be enough? When will it be time for our country to join the rest of the civilized world and enact reasonable gun control legislation? This Sunday we will remember the victims of gun violence. Using the principles and teaching of our faith tradition, we will explore the problem, the inability or unwillingness of our national leaders to take action, and the way we can at least try to work for change. Please join us to explore this very important and timely issue.
