We don’t know why. We may never really or fully understand the why. But we do know that three people have died. Another half-dozen injured. Countless others’ lives disrupted, erupting in fear and grief.
The lives of our neighbors lost and fractured in the mass shooting Wednesday afternoon just on the other side of Loring Park. It is heartbreaking. It is infuriating.
And it is too familiar.

Check out our new podcast episode featuring a lovely reflection from Rev. Chad Snyder:
There is pain in the world. Injustice and rage, loss and deep sorrow. These things are true. But it is also true that that is not all there is. Being true to this existence calls us to see its fullness, to not let the broken places blot out the delights.
Find the episode wherever you listen to podcasts, or on our website.
