    Ep 28 - Welcoming the stranger

    “I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” Matthew 25:35 There are 22 scriptures in the Bible about welcoming newcomers from another land, but it could be argued that none resonate with MCC as much as that verse from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. “I was a stranger and you welcomed me”. Follow along as MCC Ontario sponsors a refugee family for the first time.  Transcription here. Discussion guide here. Read the written story about the Salazar family and MCCO (includes photos). Read about how MCC started the world's first refugee sponsorship program.  Read about Bill Janzen's legacy in this work and how he recently received the Order of Canada for it. Editorial assistance by Christen Kong Theme song by Brian MacMillan Artwork by Jesse Bergen Undercurrents is sponsored by Kindred Credit Union.

    Ep 27 - Spiritual Covenant with Adrian Jacobs

    "I was looking for justice, tangible justice. I was looking for something that said, 'We're not just going to repent. We're not just going to be sorry. We're going to do something and here it is.'" With great patience and grace, Adrian Jacobs from the Cayuga Nation, Six Nations Haudenosaunee Confederacy shares a beautiful and challenging opportunity for the Church to make real steps toward reconciliation.  Transcription here. Discussion resource here. "A Global Solution for the Six Nations of the Grand River" - lecture by Phil Monture at the University of Waterloo. "A Conflict in Caledonia" - a timeline from APTN News.

    Earth Day Special! - Imagining better futures with Dr. Sibonokuhle Ncube

    Happy Earth Day, Undercurrents listeners! Today, we're sharing an episode from our sister podcast, Relief Development & Podcast, produced by my amazing colleagues Meghan Mast and Christy Kauffman. We hear from Dr. Sibonokuhle Ncube who says climate change chose her since she learned as a child that people in her rural village in Zimbabwe suffered from drought and hunger. But today she doesn't focus on all that is broken and what to fear, she focuses her energy on working towards a better future.  Undercurrents is produced with support from ⁠⁠⁠Kindred Credit Union⁠⁠.⁠ Original music: Brian MacMillan Artwork: Jesse Bergen
