Palestinian Christians with the Rev. Dr. Imad Haddad

At the 2025 National Convention of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, Boston and Lyndon had the chance to speak briefly with Bishop-elect Imad Haddad of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land. Rev. Dr. Imad talks about his life as a Palestinian Christian and misconceptions of what that actually means. He also speaks about what people can do to support Palestinians, and distinguishing religious and political conflicts.

What is Let's Talk Faith and Justice?

Let's Talk Faith and Justice is a podcast hosted by Boston Laferté, a current JD/JID and MDiv student, and Lyndon Sayers, co-pastor of Lutheran Church of the Cross in Victoria and a spiritual care provider with UVic Multifaith.

The podcast explores topics of faith through the lens of justice, and topics of justice through the lens of faith. Both the hosts and guests bring their own unique life experiences and faith journeys to explore how the sometimes-conflicting worlds of faith and justice can intersect in deep and life-giving ways.

It is with deep respect and gratitude that Let's Talk Faith and Justice is recorded and produced on unceded lək̓ʷəŋən territories that include Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations.
