    Multi-faith talk for Ceasefire @ Palestine House, Mississauga

    It is 140 days since Oct 7, 2023, the day of the atrocious attack by Hamas on Israel. Since that day, Israel has killed more than 30,000 civilians. And over 1 million Palestinians are facing the very real possibility of death by starvation. Whatever side you are on, many people these days are calling for an immediate, permanent, ceasefire. I was invited to speak at a multi-faith ceasefire event recently. And I want to share my talk with you.

    What more do you need?

    I'm sure that most people have heard the story about Jesus feeding 5000 people with a bit of bread and a few fish. What that story is really about - in modern terms - is the contrast between a mindset of abundance and a mindset of scarcity. Let's talk about that today.
