Worth reading: A Newsweek story about how two pastors were affected by the Columbine massacre a decade ago.
One pastor, a liberal Lutheran, did a private memorial service for Dylan Klebold, one of the murderers.
The second, the pastor of a non-denominational church, presided over the funeral for Cassie Bernall, the high school junior who supposedly affirmed her belief in God before she was murdered.
The article says: “Ten years later, these two men of God—radically different in personality and theological approach—are still struggling to deal with the damage done to them by two boys bent on murder and mayhem.”

The world of religion, we don't have to tell you, is vast. The purpose of this blog is for Stern to note, flag and comment on some of the more interesting religious developments on the scene – weighty and quirky, somber and laughable, far away and just down the road. He won't interpret Scripture, take sides in conflicts or judge anyone. But he will take advantage of the journalist's license to observe.
