Evening: Psalm 78:40-72; Joel 1:15-2:2; Matthew 15:21-28
Last night at the Harmony Centre in Owen Sound, over 30 people of different faiths came together around the theme: Making Peace. We seemed to share a unanimous conviction that what makes for peace among different cultures and faiths is relationships, getting acquainted, being together in common cause, doing meaningful or just plain enjoyable things together. Jesus, when asked by a Canaanite woman to heal her daughter, decided to step beyond his own culture and build bridges of peace. Our conversation last night was an example of how rich and peace-making the meeting of cultures and faiths can be.
