Dear Friends,
We are eager to meet together for our next CS Monitor prayer session on Monday, September 14th at 7pm ET. These meetings bring forth insightful discussions and wonderful opportunities to come together in a thoughtful and prayerful way for our world. Tee will be our host. We would love to have you join us.
This week we have two articles that we will consider together. They both relate to the relationship between the U.S. and Canada. One has a focus of AMERICAS and the other is from the FIRST LOOK section. The links are listed below. It is helpful to have read or listened to the articles beforehand, but you are welcome to join us regardless. Feel free to share this email with others who might want to participate, as well.

WHY WE WROTE THIS
Prime Minister Mark Carney hopes that he can use the collapse of trade talks with Washington to show that Canada and other “middle powers” can navigate geopolitical storms without ceding their sovereignty to nations like the United States.
