Reading the gospel for today, I wonder: would I have stood up for Jesus that day in the synagogue as he spoke his word of truth and challenge – or would I have joined the mob who wanted to throw him off the cliff? What do I say or do when I hear racist comments, or see someone being bullied? When I see anger and prejudice stoked because of fear of the ‘other’ – immigrants, Muslims, asylum seekers, First Nations people, the homeless?
