  • Standing with the Clergy of Newtown: a Letter to the U.S. Senate from American Religious Leaders
    3/10/2013 Standing with the Clergy of Newtown: A Letter to the U.S. Senate from American Religious Leaders More than 4,000 religious leaders from across the country have joined the clergy of Newtown, Conn., in signing the letter below to U.S. senators asking for gun violence prevention legislation. United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Senators, It’s been less than three months since our community experienced the unspeakable tragedy of the murder of children and educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School. As the clergy leaders of Newtown, joined by clergy colleagues from across the nation, we have witnessed the scourge of gun violence in our neighborhoods, and we call on Congress to pass comprehensive gun violence prevention legislation that will help stop the slaughter. The moral mandate to protect the weak in our care is clear and present in all of our faith traditions. Our varied faith traditions teach us to seek the peace of the city, to love our neighbor, and to cherish human dignity. To see the rising incidence of gun violence from Chicago to Newtown, Camden to Aurora, Detroit to Tucson – and how that violence particularly targets the young and the poor, especially in America’s urban communities - and yet to refuse to take the steps we know would reduce harm is a violation of religious values so severe that we are compelled to speak out. Nothing any of us do will bring back the victims murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School. As a nation we must do all we can to prevent the next tragedy.

    THE GEOLOGY OF THE DULUTH METROPOLITAN AREA View of business cen ter of Duluth, Minneso ta Point, and Duluth Harbor wilh Superior in the background. (Pholograph by co urlesy Dululh Chamber of Com merce.) UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA MINNESOTA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEORGE M. SCHWARTZ. DIRECTOR BULLETIN 33 THE GEOLOGY OF THE DULUTH METROPOLITAN AREA BY GEORGE M. SCHWARTZ MINNEAPOLIS . 1949 THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS PREFACE The Duluth area is one of the most interesting parts of lVlinnesota. It is also a critical area in determining the relationship between various rocks of Keweenawan age in the Lake Superior district. The area, there­ fore, has received more or less detailed study from time to time. :Most of these studies, however, referred only to special phases of the geology of the region and no general description has appeared since Winchell pub­ lished volume four of his final report, which contains a special chapter on the Duluth area.' The object of this project was to map the metropolitan area (see Fig­ nre 1) in as much detail as practicable, accompanied by such laboratory studies as seemed desirable. This work was followed by a compilation of all ayailable geological knowledge on the Duluth area into a readable summary for interested residents, as well as for engineers and others who need geological knowledge of the area in their work. The field work was begun in 1937, and the major portion of the field seasons through 1940 was spent in the Duluth area and adjacent portions of the region. Other projects, mostly a result of the war, interfered ,,,ith the completion of the field work and compilation of the results.
