>COMMENTARY: Helping us to help God

>By Cathleen Falsani

[Religion News Service] A few hours before the bodies of singer Jennifer
Hudson's murdered mother and brother were discovered on Chicago's South
Side on Friday, October 24, across town one of the world's greatest
peacemakers began his remarks at the Hotel Intercontinental by
addressing head-on the city's daunting problem with violent crime. 

"I want to give a special message to a group of people sitting in that
corner -- it is families who have lost sons to the gun violence that is
so rampant," Archbishop Desmond Tutu said, motioning toward a table at
the far end of the ballroom. Among those seated there was Ron Holt,
whose 16-year-old son died shielding another friend from gunfire on a
Chicago bus in May 2007.

"It is easy, so facile, to say to you, 'We feel with you,'" Tutu said.
"Please go away from here knowing there are people who care enormously
who want to see a different kind of Chicago, who want a Chicago where
everybody is safe."
