Additional Knoxville Response Resources

I’m writing again to share a few more resources that have been developed in the last week in response to the tragic shooting at Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church.

• The Unitarian Universalist Association’s Knoxville News Page. This page offers links to a variety of resources, including reports from the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) and UU World, statements from Rev. William Sinkford (UUA President), appropriate texts for use in worship, and trauma response resources.
• “Supporting Our Friends in Knoxville,” a UUA blog where comments of support and condolence may be left for the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church and Westside Unitarian Universalist Church communities, and where information can be shared about vigils at UU congregations. Readers have offered hundreds of well wishes.
• The UUA’s list of vigils that have taken place or will be taking place to show support for the congregations in Knoxville.
• Last week’s Interdependent Web, I pointed out key posts from UU and non-UU bloggers responding to the tragedy. More recent posts from UU bloggers addressing the tragedy can be found via UUpdates.net
• The Knoxville News Sentinel has been extensively covering the shooting and subsequent developments; all of their coverage of the shooting and subsequent developments can be found here.

There has been an outpouring of concern from Unitarian Universalist individuals and congregations around the country and around the world, as well as from many, many people who are not Unitarian Universalist but have spoken up to express support and condolences.
