Passion Narratives on tap for our Jewish-Christian relations course tomorrow. Hands down always the toughest class for me. Trying to expose/reorient the way students are used to reading these, and the incorrect and uncritical assumptions they have attached to a story that is so important, is hard.

It is extraordinary and heart-rending to see hostages returned to their families in Israel after their two-year ordeal in captivity. It is all so long overdue, and the world prays for sustained peace-building and continued healing in the region.

#Peace is unarmed and disarming. It is not deterrence, but fraternity; it is not an ultimatum, but dialogue. Peace will not come as the result of victories over the enemy, but as the fruit of sowing justice and courageous forgiveness.
