Updates on Knoxville Tragedy

Hi friends, I’m writing with a few updates on Knoxville. The UUA has a website page with links to key resources addressing the Knoxville tragedy (including a link to a new UUA-sponsored blog, which is a place for sharing support and well wishes for the congregations impacted). It is heartening to see that UU individuals and congregations around the country are holding vigils and other observances of support for the Knoxville congregations. Some of these gatherings happened yesterday evening, as Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church and Westside Unitarian Universalist Church joined with members of their local community and with UUA president Rev. William Sinkford in a vigil (see KnoxNews.com)

Also, as we continue mourning the deaths of Greg McKendry and Linda Kraeger, and keeping victims and survivors in our thoughts and prayers, there is an update from about an hour ago, letting us know that the conditions of the four victims who remain hospitalized has improved. I find this last piece of news a particular comfort to hear.
