Journey of Hope
In May 2001, more than 550 Canadians traveled to Israel where they publicly repented for past and present anti-Semitism on the part of the Canadian church. They also visited sites of ancient Biblical anointing where, in accordance with Habbukuk 3:2, they prophetically cried out for the Lord to renew and release these anointings in Canada today.
Your gesture of repentance is a deep gesture…There have been dark pages in the history between Christians and Jews. For many many years, these pages were defined as a monologue from Christians towards Jews. Your gesture means that from now on we have a togetherness, a dialogue. - Rabbi Michael Melchior, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Government of Israel
"You bring a message of peace, you bring a message of conciliation, conciliation between Christians and Jews." - His Excellency Haim Divon, Israeli Ambassador to Canada.
