FROM THE GENERAL SECRETARY: The Massacre in Virginia
No one can explain such tragedies as the massacre in Virginia Monday.Nor can anyone bring the youngsters back whose lives were so abruptly and terribly ended.
These events are a reminder of the violence and brutality and unrequited hurt that now permeate our social order. Perhaps it was always so. But it does seem that wherever we look, in this country and abroad, profound frustration and murderous rage lurk. We must all, especially those of us in the religion and counseling field, resolve to attend better to the wide frustration that is evident, and find ways to attend to and control the rage of
troubled persons and groups. Even as our hearts go out to the victims, we must resolve to be more alert to the profoundly troubled among us, and risk taking action that is both caring and restraining.
Raymond Lawrence, General Secretary
