Boulder, Colorado, (IINA) - People of dozens of different congregations joined together under one roof on Sunday, not to talk about religion, but another oftentimes controversial issue: gun violence, The Denver Channel news reported.
Around 100 people met at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder to hear from a group of panelists including experts on suicide, domestic abuse and mental health.
The event was planned by Together Colorado’s Boulder County Interfaith Leaders Caucus and Congregation Bonai Shalom’s Working Group on gun violence prevention.
Attendees varied from churches of the Jewish, Muslim, Catholic, Christian and other communities.
The meeting comes following the recent rise of shootings against law enforcement around the state. A Park County deputy was shot and killed in the line of duty just this past week while serving an eviction notice.
