In this season of peace let's come together to let our leaders know we want to take steps to end gun violence.
Why is this important?
Last night at a Christmas concert in my church we began with prayers for the shooting in Connecticut. I could hear others crying as was I when the priest said the names of the children and teachers who died and then the name of the shooter. The traditional readings and songs, with imagery of innocent babies, the coming of the Prince of Peace and the words, "Comfort, Comfort Ye My People" carried a whole new meaning. I thought, let's seize this moment to try and end gun violence.
