UCC Leadership on Gun Responsibility

UCC Leadership on Gun Responsibility

 

“There is something deeply hypocritical about praying for a problem you are unwilling to resolve.” ~ Miroslav Volf, Public Theologian

 

Every child deserves to make it through the school day alive. We grieve for and with the families and friends of those who will never come home again.. We decry our complicity with providing legal and easy access to weapons no one needs. And we grieve a Congress that lacks the conviction to place the safety of our children and adult citizens above political aspirations.

 

And we will continue to urge Congress and communities toward reasonable gun legislation, an already available response to our impassioned plea.
