Jesus is executed, just like so many men and women around the world.  What does it mean to endorse the punishment used to kill Christ?  What are the ways people with profound truths are scapegoated?

SCRIPTURE:  Mark 15:21-41 The Death of Jesus

MUSIC: "Friday Morning" by Sydney Carter, "Underground" by Ainsley McNeaney, "Courage" by The Tragically Hip

Contagious Hope is a podcast series specially created for Lenten reflection by the Rev. Alexa Gilmour from Toronto.  On this fifth week of Lent, Rev. Alexa speaks with Greg Cook and Lorraine Lam, outreach workers at Sanctuary Ministries of Toronto; a place in the heart of Toronto where you can go to be seen and celebrated, walked with and cared for. Guided by the Gospel, the heart and centre of this community are the very people who are often excluded in the mainstream; those experiencing poverty, lack of housing, addiction and mental health crisis. At Sanctuary, they can get meals, health clinic support, art programs, street outreach, Sunday services, and so much more.
