From our partner organization, Faith and Leadership: Gun violence is not theoretical. Its banality has eroded our consciousness, our well-being. We’ve plugged the bullet holes and prayed that the violence will stay away. But it hasn’t.
I need Jesus to show me how to live with these new holes.
Alaina Kleinbeck: I need the hole-ridden Jesus in this hole-ridden world Jesus is present with us amid the gun violence that pierces our world, teaching us by example how to live with this reality.
