We have to pray to have eyes to see.

Just a few thoughts

·       This Referendum was always going to challenge us, and it was always going to teach us about ourselves. The media focused on ugly extremes [and were not challenged to tell the truth]

·       May our First Nations Peoples recover from this [yet another] setback and gather strength and courage to continue telling truths about the colonial history that other Australians apparently are refusing to acknowledge. And may we support them!

·       We pray for all who suffer the daily torment of hunger and food insecurity, that this World Food Day will spur the international community to meet their needs.

·       We pray for the people of Israel and the Palestinian territories, that the terrible cycle of killing and retaliation will end and seeds of healing and peace be sown.

Reflections

The Signs Of The Times

Ø Is Australia really a morally backward society?

Ø How did the media perform on the Voice referendum? Let’s talk about truth-telling and impartiality
