Kevin Rogers

Patty Bowman Kingsley is an artist and communicator that works in several mediums and lives in the Durham region, just east of Toronto. Christian author Chuck Swindoll said this about her:

“Using creativity as her primary medium, she facilitates the growth of individuals and communities through creative enterprise, activations, collaboration, and individual art creations. Patty lives her artful life believing that we are surrounded by insurmountable opportunity” 

There are people like Patty that have come to understand that life in the community at large is a sacred role where the Holy Spirit can bring light and love into unexpected places.

Antisemitism in Canada (David Larmour interview)

Antisemitism in Canada (David Larmour interview)

Kevin Rogers

David Larmour is the lead pastor of King Street Community Church in Oshawa, Ontario. He and his congregation decided to do something related to understanding antisemitism in Canada. Through building a relationship with the local Jewish community through learning and fellowship, they entered into a friendship that bolstered their own faith experience.

According to Stats Canada, “Antisemitism targets people who are or are perceived to be Jewish. Antisemitism continues to persist in Canada, manifesting itself in different ways: vandalism and graffiti, circulation of hate propaganda, intolerant and racist statements, bomb threats to Jewish schools, community centres, and other gathering places. Hate crimes against Jewish people increased by 71% between 2022 and 2023 for a total of 900 crimes reported by the police.” (https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/canada-holocaust/antisemitism.html)

This episode will shed light on the reality that many Jews face and the importance of Judaism at the heart of the Christian faith.
