Summary
Dave Andrews has lived and worked in intentional communities with marginalised groups of people in Australia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Nepal. Through these experiences he developed a passion for seeing Christians and Muslims learning together what it means to follow Jesus. To this end, he proposes that we all observe the Jihad of Jesus. We caught up with Dave at the Greenbelt Festival to uncover what exactly this means!
“Once we understand that the heart of ‘jihad’ is a non-violent struggle for justice, then of course Jesus becomes the ultimate role model of a sacrificial, compassionate, subversive but non-violent agent of change.” - Dave Andrews
