Dear colleagues, as a long time resident of your country and one who dearly loves it, I send this to ask how does this sit with you.? I lived in Cleveland Oh in 1960/1 in a black ghetto on the east side. Jim was a pastor in a storefront Church. There were absolutely no white people at all. Our parishioners were simply marvellous to me especially when I had our daughter Rebecca. Then we lived in Chicago West side and north side, 1973-81 Returned briefly in 82 briefly ditto in ‘96. We spent Summer ‘68 on the West side just after the riots and the assasinations earlier that terrible year. This matter of racism is absolutely our # 1 issue here. Our hearts are so scarred and we will never be at peace until our indigenous community enjoy every right and responsibility that we whites and all immigrants enjoy. A deep abiding healing Treaty is called for NOW. Our Government has little guts ( my view and I don’t ask anyone to agree w me. ) In peace and love, Isobel Bishop Sent from my iPhone
