A cross with a cutout of a gun and the name of the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, one of the nine victims of the Charleston church shootings, stands at the door to the chapel at Washington Street United Methodist Church in Columbia, S.C., on Jan. 29, 2016. Parishioners attending a Stand-Up Sunday service at the chapel on Jan. 31 will pass under the cross. An estimated 1,300 congregations of all denominations in South Carolina are participating in the Stand-Up Sunday to draw attention to the national epidemic of gun violence and seek tighter gun laws while respecting people's rights to own guns.
