Mohamed Hammoud - Communion: the Letters of our Name
Show Notes

In 1976, Mohamed Hammoud fled Lebanon with his family to escape a civil war. Arriving in Canada, he was told to change his name to “Mike” in order to fit in. Over the years, as he moved and explored, he changed his name again and again—Mikeal in Quebec, Miguel in Spain, and finally back to himself, Mohamed. He and I had a terrific journey of ideas and insights over 30 minutes, and now I have a wonderful friend in London, Ontario, where I actually stopped for a snack in m1973!
