stephen lewis

this noon i had the opportunity to hear stephen lewis. he started lightly and then delved into the issue of human rights. he talked from his heart of the plight of poverty, aids etc. it was moving at the end hearing the horror some of the children in africa is facing. these children do not have a childhood. i question myself, as a religious man what am i doing. i was challenged by mr. lewis to not retreat back, but to move foward. there is so much to grasp. this week is international week at the u of alberta. and i was fortunate to hear what stephen lewis had to say.
i also got an opportunity to meet and say some words to mr. lewis. i plan to write letters to my mp, to the new pm and to other world leaders. to write and urge some changes. i am but one man but we do need to look at what we should be doing. is it not as Jesus said to feed the hungry, shelter, visit the ones in prision. it is time for all christians to get active.
