This past weekend, we took a stand and prayed. Fifty of us – clergy and lay leaders from 20 different Maine faith communities, including two of us from Lewiston – stood and we offered our “thoughts and prayers” for victims of gun violence. But in a departure from what some have come to consider the empty and trite version of this activity, we sought to activate our prayer. We stood at the front entrance to Cabela’s in Scarborough, owned by parent company Bass Pro Shops.
