Reflections on the Overland Park shootings by the Rev. Dr. Sharon Watkins, general minister and president of our Christian Church (Disciples of Christ): No sooner had I clicked send than an email arrived in my inbox from a Disciples colleague. Two of the people killed were her first cousin and his grandson. They were at the Jewish Community center for try-outs for a musical event. Both United Methodists. The slain grandfather was the son of a Disciples pastor I had known in Enid, Oklahoma. So now this act of apparent hatred against Jews has a Disciples connection, too. Now the solidarity I had offered in principle is real at a different level.
