When: Wednesday, June 11
Where: Bayview Glen Church
Time: 7 PM to 9 PM

Join us for a thought-provoking evening as we explore one of the most challenging topics in faith and scripture: divine violence. This panel discussion brings together respected voices from Christian and Jewish traditions to unpack the historical, theological, and ethical dimensions of divine violence in the Bible.

Speakers include:
• Dr. Gord Oeste – Adjunct Professor of Biblical Studies at Tyndale University, specializing in warfare in the Bible and the ancient Near East.
• Dr. Logan Gates – Christian apologist and Adjunct Speaker with Apologetics Canada, with expertise in political theory and the history of political thought.
• Rabbi Jarrod Grover – Senior Rabbi at Beth Tikvah, known for his commitment to Jewish tradition, Israel engagement, egalitarianism, and social justice.

Come with questions and curiosity as we wrestle with how sacred texts portray violence—and how we should understand and respond to these portrayals today.
