The Council of Christians and Jews (Victoria) is happy to offer for your enjoyment this first issue of the 2020 edition of Gesher, our annual journal. The launch of Gesher 2020 is given, along with a message from the patron, Her Excellency the Honourable Linda Dessau AC.
The theme of Gesher 2020 is Religion and Ecology. Over the three planned issues, we will look at the bushfires, climate change, COVID-19 and related topics from the point of view of faith and ethics, economics and society.As in this first issue, we will continue to explore these topics through essays, art, poetry and scripture. The new format was chosen specifically so that each issue could reach you in a timely manner while these issues are current.
We encourage you to distribute this issue first of Gesher 2020 widely to your community and acquaintances. Do not hesitate to reproduce it and pass it on to as many potential readers as possible.
