Joy and Woe are Woven Fine...

My heart is broken for the victims of violence at the Tennessee Valley UU Congregation in Knoxville, TN, who were attacked by a gunman during a children's play performance this morning in their worship service. It's all over the news. I don't need to tell you more.

Please keep this congregation and its members and friends in your hearts and minds as they deal with the aftermath of this terrible tragedy.

I'm interested in finding out what this guy's motive was. It sounds like he targeted the church because it was UU, but you folks have a reputation for being pretty... well... inoffensive. It's hard to imagine what kind of grudge he could have had, at least on a wide scale. Maybe he was angry at someone in particular.

In any case, yes, prayers are in order.
