2. Good day for it

I am appreciative of their efforts to address the gun violence issue and take it to DC. The Episcopals came from all over the East Coast and beyond for this. I see from the net that a lot of churches are having dialogues about it since Sandy Hook. They seem to be responding to troubled members need for support and guidance, & action hopefully.

We are appalled by senseless violence in other countries but have been blind to it here. For whatever reason. Denial, depression, shame, cowardice, resignation--all that. No more excuses. If churches could help this country emerge from this state of willful negligence I'm all for it. Some Jewish congregations are speaking to it during Passover as well. They could all make a big difference.
