The Rev. Dr. G. Scott Morris, M.D., is founder and chief executive officer of Church Health. He is a regular contributor to The Daily Memphian.
We won’t get anywhere if we respond to the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting by only, once again, calling for legal changes that will have little chance of being enacted. We need to sit down in our houses of worship and come up with concrete ways to draw close to the children Jesus loves.
