Jim D. Adkisson, 58, an out-of-work truck driver, is alleged to have gone on a shooting spree at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universality Church in Knoxville, wounding several people and killing two, according to press reports.
Police said in a statement that Adkisson reportedly chose the church based on his hatred of its liberal views on civil rights, gay marriage and women's rights.
"It is hard to understand how people can choose to hate people they do not even know," says Carol Cole-Lewis, president of the board of the UUCLC. "Unitarian Universalists have always been at the forefront of movements that preserve the inherent rights of the individual, including civil rights and gay or same-sex marriage.
“I suppose it is not surprising, as some people don't know who we are and would act out of misunderstanding, rather than to open dialog to find out about us and why we support these issues,” she said. “We extend our prayers and condolences to all people affected by this event, including Mr. Adkisson."
The Unitarian Universalist tradition is a relatively unknown faith in America, though one with a long history. With roots from the 16th century Reformation, Unitarian Universalism is a caring, open-minded religious community that encourages each person to seek his or her own spiritual path. Noted Unitarian Universalists include John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Charles Dickens, Clara Barton, Luther Burbank and Albert Schweitzer.
The UUCLC supports marriage equality and is available to perform marriage ceremonies for couples of any race, gender or religious beliefs. They also support the Lake County Safe House project, and many of its members are involved with other humanitarian efforts in the county and beyond.
The UUCLC meets Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. at the Kelseyville Senior Center.
For more information about the UUCLC or Unitarian Universalism, visit their Web site (http://www.uuclc.org) or call 278-0254. Everyone is welcome. Child care is provided.
The UUCLC is a part of the Unitarian Universalist Association (www.uua.org).

A lovely brunch was served to the members and guests. A film recounted the beginnings of the center, recalling the groundbreaking, special building plans, fundraising, plus gifts received from the church family and friends, all memories to remember.
The excellent workmanship of Lake County contractor/builder Gerry Anderson and many prayers, hard work and vision did bring smiles and gratitude to committee members.
Property enhancements during the past 10 years continue to be enjoyed. Included are the labyrinth, peace garden and universal peace pole, meditation and serenity gardens and community center improvements and just of late is the church's Web site prepared by Marvin and Lillie Hanson, http://Galileekelseyville.org/special.htm.
Special guests were recalled with appreciation including Bishop Robert Matheis and Sierra Pacific Cynod, Bishop David Mullen and of course Bay Area and local musicians as well as those from other countries able to share their musical talents through Lake County Performing Arts, clown ministry, special worship services with the community and much more.
Balloons and delicious foods prepared by members completed the celebration as we praised God and many blessings. We now can look forward to the church's 50th anniversary in 2015.
Pastor Lynn Freele and the church community invite all to worship with them. Outdoor worship is offered in July, August and September, beginning at 9:00 a.m. each Sunday at 8860 Soda Bay Road, Kelseyville. The church can be reached by phone at 279-4832.
