In Australia, COVID is striking back again.
We are facing invisible dragons – the virus, gases in the air changing our climate, and, in our minds, fears and anxieties for the future. All invisible. And therefore, easy for those with their own vested interests to deny.
The takeaway from World Service #6 might be – we can’t beat the dragons unless we first face them. But let us do it together.
Dr Martin Luther King Jr knew about facing dragons:
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
