living as people of grace in a conflicted church & world
Friday morning we both woke up to the news that Russell Brand had been convicted of rape and sexual assault by a London court. Brand has been of particular interest to Christians since his conversion and subsequent baptism in 2024.
As we both scrolled over breakfast, we were confronted and disturbed by the various Christian takes. Many of these takes focussed on whether or not Brand’s public conversion to Christianity was genuine.
On Sunday August 3, I took part in the March for Humanity, walking across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in a protest with thousands of others. The March was organised by the Palestine Action Group. The official estimate of how many were in the protest was 90,000 people, but others suggest it may have been anywhere between 200,000 to 300,000 people. Here, in response to a request from the WADR team, are a few of the reasons I participated.
