| The Rev. John H. Thomas, UCC general minister and president, has released a special litany in response to the violence at Virginia Tech. "Jesus said, 'Feed my lambs,'" reads the litany in part. "Yet today we grieve for precious lambs, not fed, but slaughtered. For those sons and daughters, students and classmates, colleagues and friends whose lives we cherish, whose loss we mourn, we pray." The litany, which uses themes from John 21:1-19 (the Gospel lesson for the third Sunday of Easter), has been sent to UCC conferences offices and is available in bulletin insert format.
