Tragedy at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church

I was shocked to hear about the senseless shooting at the Tennessee Valley UU. There are sad stories in the article. There is an account of how someone in the congregation died protecting children.

The title of the article focuses on the shooter’s political motivations for the crime. Supposedly he did it because hated “liberals”. I suspect, however, that his motivations were 99% violent insanity and only 1% political.

My congregation, FUS of Madison, is having a vigil. It awful to think that this tragedy could have happened here, or anywhere. I can’t imagine how hard it is for people who directly affected.

The Tennessee Valley UU congregation is in our thoughts.
