Here are some items of note from around the Church and the headlines this week. Much of social media has been taken up with conversation on the shootings in Isla Vista and gender in America. I have included a variety of perspectives on this issue and the Twitter campaign of #yesallwomen that came out of it. A reminder that inclusion of an item here does not equal endorsement of that particular viewpoint. I have found much food for thought in variety of perspectives and what an explosive issues gender and violence are in America.
