Pastoral Ponderings:

June 14th

This week has seen the anniversary of the attack on the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando.  A man who shot innocent people who were enjoying Latin night in an LGBT club because of his beliefs.  Then this morning I read that a shooter has shot at Republican officials and security in Virginia. There is a need now more than ever to find ways for people to be express their frustrations and thoughts rather than using guns or violence. 

As a peacemaker I do not understand the use of guns however I understand that people are using them to make their point which does not get heard in other ways.  My encouragement for everyone that feels able is to listen to the concerns of others, no matter how different they are to ours.  By listening to others and trying to come some understanding won't solve all the world's problems but it might help someone to feel heard.  All we can do is our best in our part of the world. 

Many Blessings
