So glad to hear this! And you're gift of theological reflection is still very much intact. Such a powerful insight that the North American mainline church's amnesia of the story it's called to steward and proclaim -- of God-with-us in Jesus -- has us lost in our own house. A frightful loss for us and for the world we are meant to serve. And so we continue to sew the seeds of the story and to trust in God's work as Creator, Gardner, and Saviour.

I just googled your name as I came across you listed as the editor of a book by Walter Brueggemann that I'm reading, and I wondered how you'd been getting on with your long-term illness. What a shock to read of your latest diagnosis. I am so sorry to hear about it. I'm very familiar with its progression from witnessing my mother's decline. I pray that you will have the support you need to live joyfully and knowing you are beloved by God to the end of your years.Rosie Pererahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09554035581795923555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512734048150861589.post-42759887759695260942024-01-06T02:57:59.287-08:002024-01-06T02:57:59.287-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rosie Pererahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09554035581795923555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512734048150861589.post-81841916227805585752023-06-24T13:32:43.444-07:002023-06-24T13:32:43.444-07:00I just read your article "A people, a name, a...I just read your article "A people, a name, a praise, and a glory": False and True Faith in Jeremiah.

Anger often leads to violence. So does pacifist actions that placate a majority who have forgotten about the passion that creates and sustains life on this planet.

As you mention, Health Canada has approved both Kyprolis and Darzalex for use in Canada, and the pCPA recently concluded price negotiations for Kyprolis.<br />The government recognizes that we need to make Canada’s existing prescription drug system more efficient and responsive, and is taking steps to address affordability, accessibility and appropriate prescribing while we work to bring prices down and improve pharmaceutical management. That’s why Budget 2018 announced the creation of an Advisory Council on the Implementation of National Pharmacare to consult, study, and recommend options on how to move forward on this important health services improvement together.<br />However, under our current healthcare system, while the federal government is responsible for approving treatments and providing funding to the provinces – it is up to the provinces to provide access to approved treatments. For that reason, I encourage you to also share your concerns with the BC Minister of Health.<br />Best regards,<br />Joyce Murray, MP<br />Vancouver Quadra<br /><br />Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00881264791986186734noreply@blogger.com
