Making sense of the senselessIn the wake of the horrific mass killing in Toronto yesterday, journalists and writers are - like all of us - struggling to make sense of the senseless. People around the world reacted to the news of yesterday’s tragic events with shock, disbelief, horror. A sinking sense of "not again." The collective Canadian heart sank. "Not here." At some level, our responses have to be because - whether we think about it consciously or not - we deeply value human life. We recognize the injustice when innocent life is snatched away.

A nation lamentsCanada is a hockey nation. And so, when one branch of the hockey family suffers, we all grieve. Witness the outpouring of sympathy in the wake of the Humboldt Broncos tragedy. Witness the way Canadians have clung to the words of lament and prayer spoken by team chaplain, Sean Brandow. A video of Brandow’s extraordinary message--delivered at a vigil for the victims April 8--and a transcript of his words have both been published through mainstream media and shared again and again by ordinary people on their social accounts.

“Behold, I Am Coming Soon” - A Sermon Series on the ApocalypseThe Revelation to John, also known as the Apocalypse, is one of the most misunderstood works in the entire canon of Scripture. In recent times it’s often been viewed as a breeding ground for fundamentalism, end-time fanaticism, and sectarian retreat from or hatred of the world. This suspicion of Revelation would have surprised our Christian ancestors. |
