Perhaps not all the time, but many times, I think the Church in Canada has forgotten that the crescendo of the New Testament is that God is love.

This demands more uncertainty, more humility and more community, not less.

If you're currently unhappy & frustrated with heathcare, education, many aspects of housing and transit, here's your chance to make a change.

We the people hold the power. Don't let this snap election, that Ontario didn't want, hold you back from voting #OntarioVotes2025

[Elle Pyke 🇨🇦 @EllePyke]

No matter how you vote, left, right or centre, feels like the right time to come together in unity as Canadians.

I'm praying for peace where there is anxiety, a growing sense of unity and stability and the beauty of community.

Vive le Canada 🇨🇦🍁❤️

@MeaghanMartin_ Ah man, I'm bummed to see you post something like this, in a time like this, as a current, or previous Ontario PC employee, but also as a strong advocate in the Waterloo Region.

Feels like good discipline and practice as a Canadian citizen these days, to keep an eye on the narrative that American owned publications are pushing here in Canada.

"What a poor friend we have" might be a better a title.

Those struggling with, or leaving Christianity in Canada, cite the election of Trump & support from Evangelicals as a main reason in this Canadian research: https://t.co/jq2vP6t4CP

I'm lameting the ripple effect for the church in Canada.

Evangelical vote? Unchanged from 2016.

@RyanTurnbull20 Thanks for sharing this.

@JoashPThomas My friend, I think you've arrived 😁 Now, even more people will know about your incredible work and witness! Can't wait for your book!

[Rev. Justin Berkobien @JustinBerkobien]

This little misunderstanding is what happens when Christians are always outraged but seldom curious

@thescottbarber @MattThiessenNT I've struggled with the same thing the last few years.

We are not human beings trying to become spiritual; we are spiritual beings trying to become human.

We have all known the long loneliness and we have found that the only solution is love and love comes with community.

@JoashPThomas Sending you so many birthday blessings. Your friendship and presence have made my life better. I'm grateful for you ❤️

@JoashPThomas Shane has offered a consistent witness and clarion call for non-violence for a decade (or more?). He calls it out on all sides. I don't get what Cosper is on about with all of this 🤷

[Elle Pyke 🇨🇦 @EllePyke]

@MattThiessenNT It will be fascinating to see the progress of Richards change of heart from his previous book on moral vision. I wonder if this book will cause issues for Christopher and Fuller? Thanks for finding this.

[Elle Pyke 🇨🇦 @EllePyke]

@JoashPThomas I'm so sorry Joash. I know it's true, but I still hate to see it happening here in Canada.

[Elle Pyke 🇨🇦 @EllePyke]

@thatchrischase @MarchMadnessWBB It's been so much fun to watch. Looking forward to tonight's game!

[Elle Pyke 🇨🇦 @EllePyke]

We can be Christians today in only two ways, through prayer and in doing justice among human beings. All Christian thinking, talking, and organizing must be born anew, out of that prayer and action.
