Lives lost in Tenneessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church shootings memorialized with candlelight vigils






A candlelight vigil was also held at the First UU Church of Second Life last night. Click the pic to see it big:













The flaming chalice represents the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) and is a symbol of the Unitarian Universalist (UU) faith.

There seemed to be a lot of new people at the vigil last night. There were lots of questions about what exactly UUism is. There was only one griefer, that I know of. There were a couple hundred (real life) dollars collected in donations for the TVUUC.

My heart goes out to the Knoxville TN community.

The courage of the men who rushed this insane person (you must be insane to kill a fellow human being). And, stopped him from massacering more people.

There are also terrorist among us.

Sherril your virtual world is beautiful. I think you captured the sentiment of the night vigil very well.

Hi Sherril,
I saw you at the vigil but didn't get a chance to say hi. I had to dash off unexpectedly and returned later when you were gone. I'm so grateful that the vigil was organized.
Peace, Pamela (aka Aysu Nishi)

Hi Pamela/Aysu,

I saw you too and thought about offering to be friends, but the ceremony was going on so it didn't seem appropriate.

Until we meet again,

Sherril
