“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only
a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity...
and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination,
nature is imagination itself.” 


 William Blake, poet
who died on this day in 1827

*** Reducing Gun Violence
[A Reading List for Christians]

After two more mass-shootings last weekend (El Paso and Dayton),
more innocent lives have been taken because of our inability as the American people
to wrestle with the complex history of arms and rights here in our nation,
and to take action that would minimize these sorts of events in which the lives
of bystanders are taken. Here are some very helpful books that wrestle with
the complex social and legal histories of guns in America, and with the
theological ramifications of our obsession with guns.
