Janine Larsen, District Executive of the UUA Pacific Northwest, has posted a pastoral message on the front page of district website, reflecting on Boston and how our initial response to reach out to others reflects the normal state of humanity. Our spontaneous response to reach out to those in pain and offer comfort is the hallmark of our natural goodness.
The article offers a few links to messages of caring and consolation from UU leaders, as well as resources from the UUA on how to talk to our children and console our spirits when we must respond to trauma.
We will return to news and updates from and about Regional Assembly next week.
