Racism & Jesus

(May 1, 2026)

Some people oppose First Nations “Welcome to Country” ceremonies, but it seems to me that the reasons give aren’t always fair and true.

I can’t ignore world events. I was planning to continue in a positive way with my posts on “What’s God really like?”. But the bombardment of Iran by USA and Israel, and the things some US officals are saying about it, push other thoughts aside. Everything I say in this brief post has been said […]
