United Methodists and others who are interested in campus ministry in the United Methodist Church can check out the blog for UMCMA (United Methodist Campus Ministers Association). The 2008 General Conference of the UMC is taking place this week in Fort Worth, Texas.

We remember Virginia Tech today

We remember the events that happened last year at Virginia Tech. Our prayers go out to not only that campus, but the other campuses which have experienced tragedy and violence in recent months. I read online of two Catholic schools which received threats just last week.

The Rev. D. Scott Russell is the Episcopal campus minister at Virginia Tech and the associate rector at Christ Church in Blacksburg, Virginia, the scene of tragedy last year at this time. He has commentary in the Episcopal Life online edition at http://www.episcopalchurch.org/80050_96482_ENG_HTM.htm
