Restoring (Inter) FAITH in Humanity - Amazon's New Christmas Advert - A Priest and Imam meet for a cup of tea.




I hope you've already seen Amazon's new advert, but I'd like to share it for those who haven't. 

Two old friends, a Priest and an Imam are talking happily and drinking tea. As the two men stand, they do so with difficulty and with sore knees. They laugh at the pain they share. The Imam leaves and is seen ordering something from Amazon; the Priest is also seen ordering something online. In the next scene, the Priest and the Imam kneel to pray - and are both seen wearing their new knee support bands they bought from Amazon. Cue warm and fuzzy feeling.

In a world where only our differences are highlighted and talked about, it's so heartwarming to see a tiny example in which our similarities are the most important thing. I'm grateful to Amazon for making this advert and hope it is seen by enough people to make a small difference in the world.

As always, feel free to share your thoughts below.
