    Guest Column: Developing a coordinated community response to domestic violence

    Conaway: We can’t dodge this bullet

    There is no better time to tell our own state, and the rest of the country, that we are a city that cannot be bought by the people who make the bullets and the guns that are killing us.

    Conaway: Swimming in memory with Ann Wiggs and Eudora Welty

    “We met a month before at the spring-fed pool at Allison’s Wells, a fading Southern Belle of a place — sort of resort, part art colony, part retreat from change deep in the Mississippi woods outside of Canton.”

    Echols: A column for those who’ve had a brush with Christianity

    “Perhaps they grew up going to church, but it felt dull. Perhaps they went to Christian school, but didn’t click with their classmates. Perhaps they had a sibling or a friend or a mother who prayed for them, but it never really took.”

    Guest Column: ‘When the citizens of a place no longer feel safe’

    “There doesn’t seem to be a cohesive plan to address early childhood development, education, income, outcomes and policing across our agencies and non-profits. An all hands-on-deck summit might be a good place to start.”

    Annie Ruth Taylor, 94, has 19 kids, 54 grandkids and 124 great-grandkids. OK, that’s just a rough count. But take a moment to meet the most interesting woman in Memphis — who lives in a most interesting house.

    Letter to the Editor: An open letter to Gov. Bill Lee about juvenile crime

    “It is a relatively small number of young people who are committing crimes. However, the lack of repercussions invites others to join them, committing violent acts they might not have considered under more stringent penalties. “

    Guest Column: Methodist CEO on gun violence — ‘Enough is enough’

    “If everyone could feel the anguish of a mother whose son has been murdered; or the father of a daughter who has been killed; or a wife who has lost a husband, and a healthcare community that has lost a member of its family; we would be well on our way to establishing solutions to overcome this societal disease.”
