If you’re a faith leader in Ontario, would read my open letter to the provincial government and consider adding your name?
It’s an emergency situation.

Thanks, John.
Unrelated, but a group in our church just started your Soul Keeping group study material this week. Thanks for many years of serving the Church through thoughtful teaching.
“God is not like that divine abstraction, that faceless, nameless, austere mini-being of the catechism. He is not an isolated sovereign, a self-centered king who demands that everything revolve around him and be done for his glory…”
“On the other hand, neither is God like some goofy Santa Claus who doles out goodies without regard to what we are capable of receiving and enjoying. The truth is, God is a circle of passion and life and fellowship.”

ALT I join the call for an immediate ceasefire. As I have processed the tragic news of the past days, I think of the Palestinian and Israeli children caught in the middle. I was only 11 years old when I witnessed violence and terrorism. We woke up to the sounds of mortar shells, saw our schools and mosques destroyed by bombs. Peace became something we could only dream about. War never spares children — not those kidnapped from their homes in Israel, not those hiding from airstrikes or without food and water in Gaza. Today, I am grieving for all the children and people longing for peace and justice in the Holy Land.

I just heard that Israel has cut off the water supply into Gaza, which is horrifying and could create a deeper humanitarian crisis. It is also a reminder of the imbalance of power in this ongoing conflict.
And here is an important reminder to any Christian who might be inclined to think of Palestinians as the “enemy.” This is the command of Scripture: “If your enemy is hungry, feed them; if your enemy is thirsty, give them something to drink.”
That’s how Scripture teaches us to treat others, even someone we consider an “enemy.” We cannot love our enemies as Christ commands, and simultaneously prepare to kill them. – at Paulsboro, NJ

.@PierrePoilievre never lets the facts get in the way of fundraising off fear. This is dangerous. Let’s break this down because Canadians deserve the facts. ⤵️ /1

Today Canada elected the first-ever Black Speaker in the House of Commons, and a First Nations Premier for the Province of Manitoba.
Representation matters.
Today is a good day for democracy.

Canada’s two largest metros, Toronto and Montreal, see six trains per day in each direction that take a little more than five hours. Madrid and Barcelona are the same distance and see 35 trains per day each way, taking as little as 2 hours and 30 minutes. Canada deserves better.
ALT Toronto and Montreal linear line between the two
“Rightly understanding Jesus Christ is the basis for unity among Christians. If the Gospel has not yet born the fruit of unity among believers, then perhaps the Gospel has not yet been received...”
“If there is such division among believers in Christ, then maybe those ‘believers’ believe a good many things about God (the goodness of God, the power of God), but if those believers still lack unity then they do not yet know the grace of God.” @JasonMicheli
