This report, approved by the 219th General Assembly (2010), challenges our society's fatalism and numbness in accepting the highest gun death rates in the world, reviews previous efforts and positions of the churches, and proposes a new "spiritual awakening" approach: a church-related, community-based strategy inspired by "Heeding God's Call" in Philadelphia and similar groups in Richmond, Virginia and central New Jersey. The report looks at our culture of violence acceptance, with its undercurrents of fear and desperation.
