Did any DUers attend church services today?

[bluestateguy]

I could not, as I slept in, but I wanted to. I really wanted to hear what was said from the pulpit.

My guess is that any DUers who are religious likely belong to liberal, progressive denominations. I'm curious, what did you hear from the pulpit today.

2. I'm UU, I don't attend much but would probably have agreed with the sermon.

but UU would be the exception.

3. We went to mass this evening

We prayed together for the comfort of the families and were encouraged to continue to pray privately.

No politics at all, just incredible sadness, and the hope that our prayers might help to ease the pain.

4. I'm too lazy to attend church. I do what little religion I do inside my head.

9. Yes, we prayed for the victims, but there was no sermon as it was the day of the

children's play. And let me tell you, it was impossible not to think of those poor little ones down in CT as I watched our own sweet children giggling and singing.

Our pastor did send out an email after the attack, however. He noted how we and the nation are grieving, but how we should all also be encouraging each other in the face of being worn down by the constant media barrage. I think he was right too, because it is very easy for me to get depressed from trying to carry the weight of the world and everything that is wrong in it. My shoulders aren't big enough and my heart is constantly broken.

10. Attended our UU service today celebrating various seasonal traditions

Solstice, Christian, Advent, Kwaanza, Jewish. It was pretty nice.

Nice commentary during our "Joys and Concerns" segment about the tragedy on Friday.

12. It was led by our lesbian religious education coordinator, too, btw.

11. I am a member of a UCC church

The gist of today's sermon was, "If now is not the time to talk about changes in the gun laws, when is?".

There were 26 extra candles on the altar. The names of the victims (and the shooter) were also read.
