Why would anyone go to church now?
We need a place where we can talk about why mass shootings happen.
“Why would anyone go to church now?”
Our son wondered this, watching the news about the church shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas. He has reached the age where he hears about the news at school, so we have become more open to having him hear and see things on TV, rather than trying to shield him from the hard things that happen. We need to be able to answer his questions ourselves. I don’t know if you have heard the common talk of seventh grade boys lately, but it definitely requires some counterinfluences.
“Why would anyone go to church now?” he asked us again. “The doors are unlocked! Anyone could come in.”
