Back in 2008 - one of our churches in TN had a shooting incident. Foaming at the mouth anti everything idiot. The church I joined the UU philosophy with had a rainbow flag ripped down Rochester NY.

As a black person - I remain shocked.

As a UU - my heart breaks - because AME is not agitating anyone. As a UU - our core beliefs are offensive to radical religions (all judo Christian based). Go back 300 years - radical ideas.

Those people having a circle on Wednesday evening - just based on prayer - was not hurting anyone. Nothing political about that.

And still - they were harmed.
