Gun violence affects everyone! Whether you live in an urban, suburban or a rural community gun violence directly or indirectly affects you and those you serve. The question is not “WILL” but “HOW” does the faith community respond to this epidemic and maintain the integrity of its calling? Bishop Sally Dyck has said, “In the swirl of national and church news, it’s easy to overlook and even forget the ongoing injustices in our communities, especially Chicago.”
