national gun violence awareness day
You might have noticed that more people are wearing orange lately. This is not a fashion trend but a movement that began in 2013 as a grief response by friends of a young victim of gun violence. It has grown into a national day, then weekend, then month (of June) to raise awareness about the horrific cost of gun violence. Towns and cities, schools and churches, individuals and clubs are urging us all to wear the bright color that hunters have long worn for safety. It is one small step in bending the moral arc of the universe toward justice.
The Presbyterian Week of Action concluded Sunday with a meditative vesper service lamenting the nation’s gun violence, which kills nearly 100 of God’s children every day.
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) held a solemn chapel service Wednesday in honor of National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
