"This is a time for intense diplomacy and face-to-face negotiations, not for missiles and high-altitude bombing. This is especially a time for multilateralism," states a joint letter signed by Bishop Jacques Berthelet, President of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops; Archdeacon Jim Boyles, General Secretary of the Anglican Church of Canada and the Right Rev. Dr. Marion Pardy, Moderator of the United Church of Canada, along with leaders of fifteen other churches and church coalitions. Churches condemn Iraq sanctions (January 2001) The churches warn against supporting any United Nations resolution that makes it virtually impossible for Iraq to comply with demands. Such a UN resolution "would be a mere cover for an invasion that might be multinational but would still be unjust", states the letter. The Canadian church leaders explain that their decision to send a joint letter to the Prime Minister was prompted by pleas from colleagues in the Middle East to "speak and act against the threat of another war".

Assisting Refugees in Canada Calgary: The Moreno family arrived from Colombia in December 2001. Colombian Christians Appeal to Canadian Churches February 20, 2002 -The doors are wide open for Canadian churches to sponsor Colombian refugees fleeing violence in their homeland. Tim Wichert, who works with the MCC Canada Refugee Program, says the Canadian government has agreed to give Colombian applications "urgent status" and will process their requests within days or a few weeks. "We need churches and communities in Canada to rise to the challenge," says Wichert. "We can help save lives in Colombia by giving refugees an opportunity to start a new life in Canada, free from fear." Colombia has been mired in civil war for over five decades. According to a letter from the Colombian Mennonite Church that was included in the November 2001 MCC "Peace Packet for Colombia", over 200,000 people have been killed and over two million people have been displaced as a result of the conflict. People caught in the crossfire or who have chosen to express their dissatisfaction with the status quo have suffered at the hands of the Colombian military, guerilla organizations and paramilitary groups. Dissidents have been assassinated, terrorized or forced to leave their homes. Sandra Diaz represents the sponsoring support group from a Spanish Mennonite church in Calgary.

Press, 1997, 366pp. Canada has a record of belonging to the more progressive Western democracies. It has shown this on issues of foreign policy, development cooperation and human rights, and not the least in its commitment during the long period of the struggle against apartheid. However, no one should be under any illusion that its support for the abolition of apartheid was a foregone conclusion. Governments rarely act progressively unless they are forced to do so by public opinion. And public opinion makes itself felt largely through non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including the churches. That is what happened in Canada, when churches were among the first to protest publicly against their country's support for apartheid. For nearly twenty years, the Taskforce on the Churches and Corporate Responsibility, a coalition of Christian churches, was one of Canada's leading anti-apartheid advocates. Its first coordinator, Renate Pratt, writes a strong and moving account of how the churches had to learn to break their silence and to pressure government and powerful business forces to listen to the voices of black people in South Africa, asking for sanctions against Pretoria.

"This action has created enormous anxiety among those in sanctuary in other churches and raises deep concerns for Canadians who have felt compelled by conscience to protect those they believe are at risk of persecution," said Kairos: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives. In a March 15 letter to Judy Sgro, immigration minister, and Anne McLellan, public safety minister, Kairos which includes the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace, and the Canadian Religious Conference said "brute force is not an answer."

In a March 15 letter to Prime Minister Paul Martin, 20 church leaders, including Archbishop Brendan O'Brien, president of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, said proposed security solutions like the strategic ballistic missile defense system "fail to counter the nuclear threat and precipitate further insecurities." After years of consultations, the Canadian government is involved in talks with the United States on possible participation in the strategic ballistic missile defense system. The U.S. government announced in 2002 that it intends to deploy an initial ballistic missile defense system this fall. The Canadian government is to make a decision on participation when the discussions are complete.

Church leaders' letter to the Prime Minister (Also posted in French The Right Honourable Jean Chrétien Prime Minister of Canada House of Commons Ottawa, Canada K1A 0A2 28 February, 2003 Dear Prime Minister Chrétien: in whose days justice shall flourish, and peace, till the moon fails (Psalm 72:7). We are aware that the regime of Saddam Hussein has led Iraq on paths of violence and defiance of international standards that protect human rights and that prohibit the acquisition and use of weapons of mass destruction. This must be condemned, as must the readiness of Washington and London to resort to violence. Neither are means to sustainable disarmament and peace. We are grateful that you and your government continue to seek and support alternatives to war and to insist that decision making in this crisis must be collective, not unilateral, through the United Nations. Still, we must impress upon you at this time our firm belief that war on Iraq, even with explicit Security Council authorization, would be the worst option. In our letter of September 25, 2002, we strongly urged attention to alternatives, especially a renewal of the inspections process. We are therefore enormously heartened that, through the United Nations, the inspections process has been renewed. It represents an important part of a credible strategy and alternative to war. It appears to be making a significant impact.

WE CALL FOR PEACE Ploughshares working paper 94-3 We call for peace Statements on peace by Canadian churches and religious organizations Table of Contents Introduction The Canadian Council of Churches The Anglican Church of Canada The Catholic Church and organizations ... The United Church of Canada Introduction By Martin Rumscheidt, Project Ploughshares National Board member There is no peace to keep," said the blue-helmeted soldier. Such has been the experience of the United Nations in its nearly 40-year-long effort to find the way to peace. Was Mahatma Gandhi right when he declared that there is no way to peace but that peace is the way? It requires little analysis, and almost no sophistication, to recognize that security has to do with the safeguarding of interests. In the language of the powerful, the pursuit of security is called "peace." It may be undertaken by collectives, such as NATO and the former Warsaw Pact; by individual nations, such as the United States in relation to Cuba or Nicaragua; or even by a particular segment of a country’s population, as in the former Yugoslavia. In the pursuit of such particularist security, the peace that exists degenerates into security under the impact of violence. And the security promised in exchange for the peace that was becomes like a drug: one assumes greater and greater expense to have it. A high-ranking police official in Pinochet’s Chile once declared—with accurate perception—that security was like love: one can’t have enough of it.

Links 'Stop the war' with Iraq, Canadian churches urge Sanctions are immoral, unjust and have killed more than 1.5 million, leaders say years later, 'we need to stop the war' Bob Harvey, with files from Janet Hunter The Ottawa Citizen January 16, 2001 Canadian churches want an end to the Gulf War launched against Iraq 10 years ago tomorrow. In a statement marking the anniversary, Canada's major churches say the continuing economic sanctions against Iraq have killed 1.5 million of Iraq's 23 million people by disease and malnutrition, and are simply an extension of the war. "The U.S. and its allies are still at war with Iraq. We need to stop the war," said Dale Hildebrand, executive director of Inter-Church Action. The death toll in Iraq is greater than the 1994 massacre in Rwanda, or the massacres in Cambodia's killing fields by the Pol Pot regime in the 1970s, said Mr. Hildebrand. The churches have demanded an immediate end to the sanctions against Iraq, which they say are both unjust and immoral. But Foreign Affairs says the the dire humanitarian situation in Iraq is not the result of sanctions which it says are appropriate and necessary but the result of the regime's bid to elicit sympathy, in the hope that world governments will be pressured to lift sanctions without Iraq complying with its disarmament obligations.

Renate Pratt's new book, In Good Faith , explains why the Christian churches were among the first to publicly protest, and why they provided such cogent and determined international support for the struggle against apartheid. The Taskforce on the Churches and Corporate Responsibility is a coalition of Christian churches that for nearly twenty years was one of Canada's leading anti-apartheid advocates. As the first co-ordinator of this Taskforce, Renate Pratt was at the centre of the early anti-apartheid initiatives in Canada and consequently is able to supply a clear and accurate view. The book traces the history of exchanges between the Taskforce and successive ministers and senior civil servants of the Department of External Affairs. It details the reluctant and weak responses offered by the Canadian government and business community right up to the time of Nelson Mandela's release from prison.
