From the Presbyterian Church in Canada

I textual image with the words:
In response to claims made by the President of the United States of America and his administration, The Presbyterian Church in Canada reaffirms its rejection of the sinful use and misuse of the church's scriptures, language, symbols and theology to condone or justify violence, killing, and the shame and inhumanity of war. The PCC also rejects anything that destroys life and diminishes our ability to fight hunger, poverty and disease, and to seek justice in the world.

From a faith perspective, it's common to say - when a person dies - that they have received their glory (ie eternal glory from God). Today was my birthday. I got this as a fortune cookie at the Dip. 🤣🤣🤣 Geez, 49 isn't that old (except when it is pointed out you were born in the 1900s).

Fortune cookie says "You will soon have your moment of glory."
