1. Play Black Eyed peas tune – Where is the love?

2. Respect and Tolerance

3. What do you VALUE in your life today?
What do you take for granted?

4. Why is this school different?
Why are you here?
I just want to talk about one privilege we have… Faith school… we are not indoctrinating you. We are exploring a faith your family has chosen for you and you subsequently chose whether to continue or not… it will ultimately be your choice. Elsewhere in the world that is not the case… people are forced into believing and doing things against their will

5. He asked Jesus, “who is my neighbor
He asked Jesus, “who is my neighbor?” In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
Read a section of the bible which is touching upon respect and tolerance we should all display

7. International Freedom of Religion or Belief is a crucial human right.
Think how FORTUNATE we are. I want you to show RESPECT for people within the community, but think of your role in the wider community and the role you can play as a samaritan.

8. 1 step forward for USA… 2 steps back… wants to build a wall keeping people out AND not allow Muslims into America.
