42. Quaker Concern: Canadian Churches Focus Attention On Uprooted Peoples canadian churches focus attention on uprooted peoples. This initiative has been supported by both the Canadian Council of Churches and Canadian Yearly Meeting. http://cfsc.quaker.ca/qconcern/archives/232refugees.html

Canadian churches focus attention on uprooted peoples by Roanne Fife In recent years, refugees and other uprooted peoples have faced increased public hostility, more restrictive government policies, and an absence of international will to address the causes of their plight. These causes include displacement by war, persecution, environmental devastation, development and economic disparity. The World Council of Churches has designated 1997 as an Ecumenical Year of Churches in Solidarity with Uprooted People. Across the world and within Canada, church communities are seeking to better understand the desperate situation faced by people uprooted from their homes, to stand in solidarity with them, and to find ways of alleviating both the causes and the consequences of their situation. This initiative has been supported by both the Canadian Council of Churches and Canadian Yearly Meeting. The question for local faith communities and concerned individuals is, "How do we best demonstrate our solidarity?" Quaker Meetings have often sponsored a refugee as a concrete way to support uprooted people. While sponsorship remains vital, changes to government regulations and procedures has made sponsorship increasingly difficult or impossible for most meetings. There are, however, many other ways of showing solidarity, including:

43. The Silence Of Canadian Protestant Churches - Anti-Semitism And Holocaust book None is Too Many, claimed that canadian churches practised silence as Canada callously closed its doors to Jewish refugees during the 1930s and 1940s. http://www.cdn-friends-icej.ca/antiholo/silence.html

The Silence of Canadian Protestant Churches by Sheldon Kirshner, The Kirshner File, The Canadian Jewish News , April 23, 1998 Irving Abella and Harold Troper, in their landmark book None is Too Many , claimed that Canadian churches practised silence as Canada callously closed its doors to Jewish refugees during the 1930s and 1940s. How true is this accusation? In How Silent were the Churches? Canadian Protestantism and the Jewish Plight During the Nazi Era (Wilfred Laurier University Press), Alan Davies and Marilyn Nefsky sift through the evidence and reach similar conclusions. Davies, an ordained United Church minister, is a professor of religion at the University of Toronto, while Nefsky teaches sociology and religion at the University of Lethbridge. Their book, a fair and balanced examination of Canada's Protestant sects, is based on official documents. The United Church, the largest Protestant denomination, deplored anti-Semitism in Germany, and its leaders attended rallies to protest Nazi outrages, particularly Kristallnacht. But as a "religious community," the United Church was not only silent, but condoned conversionary efforts aimed at Jews. And one of its leading liberals, Claris Silcox, a champion of Jewish refugees, favored Jewish quotas in Canadian medical schools.

45. PCC - Evangelism & Church Growth Evangelism Church Growth a part of The Life Mission Agency. The missional church a model for canadian churches? By David Horrox. http://www.presbyterian.ca/evangelism/missionalchurch.html

a part of The "missional church": a model for Canadian churches? By David Horrox Canadian culture is becoming more secular and is characterized by a greater belief in relative rather than absolute truth, a decline in traditional beliefs, behaviours, families and communities. Canada's ceremony on Parliament Hill, after the events in New York on September 11, 2001,was telling. God's name was not uttered, and prayer, hymn singing or reading from scripture of any religion were absent. This stems presumably from the belief that, if such activities took place, someone, somehow, somewhere might be offended. Although Canadian churches believe that it has the answer or humanity's problems in the message of Jesus Christ, its message is largely ignored. Faith is now a totally private matter. Allowing for Stockwell Day's shortcomings as a national leader, the ridicule to which he was subjected in the last federal election for his offence of holding Christian beliefs and, perish the thought, actually being influenced by them, clearly demonstrated the hostility towards religion, particularly the Christian religion, in our public square. Faced with an increasingly secular outlook, Canadian churches have struggled to cope with changes that they do not fully understand. To some, Canadian churches have aped the surrounding culture, with ministers becoming marketing professionals shaping religious doctrines to the needs or perceived needs of Canadians. Church language, once distinct, has become laden with secular slogans. Programs proliferate to meet the perceived needs of church members, with Bible studies in some churches concentrating on such subjects as "How God can make you a winner." The prosperity gospel, in its crassest form, reflects our materialistic, consumer-driven society. The church seems more marginalized and irrelevant to more and more Canadians, and in sharp decline in its capacity to influence the trends in our society.

"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 fourteen other churches and church coalitions. 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.

Christian Forums For Christians Only Congregation Scripture,Tradition,Reason - Anglican View Full Version : Canadian churches offered temporary adequate episcopal oversight New Creation We've been waiting a long time for this. I am in a congregation of one of the eight. Praise the Lord. Press Release February 13, 2004 Canadian Churches Offered Temporary Adequate Episcopal Oversight A group of four top leaders in the Anglican Communion has made an offer of pastoral help to Canadian parishes and clergy that cannot support the Diocese of New Westminster in its decision to bless same-sex unions in violation of Holy Scripture. This alliance of Anglican Primates has heard the plight of those who have been in a state of ‘impaired communion’ with their own diocese since the decision to bless same-sex unions was handed down in June of 2002—a divisive and unprecedented move that was vigorously denounced throughout the Anglican Communion. Primates from Central Africa, the Congo, Rwanda and South East Asia have extended an offer of “Temporary Adequate Episcopal Oversight” to those who, because of religious conscience, have requested it. The offer effectively allows those congregations and clergy to remain connected to the global Anglican Communion. This temporary and emergency offer of assistance by four international Anglican leaders insulates these churches and clergy in Canada from the often abusive power structures that have worked against them for the last 20 months. Bishop Michael Ingham of the Diocese of New Westminster has already closed one church and brought significant pressure against the others because of their stand for the orthodox Christian faith and their desire for oversight from an alternative bishop and renewed structures.

HELP SEARCH LANGUAGE LOGIN ... Episcopal News Service Canadian churches plan campaign on violence against Aboriginal women Vancouver, Canada by Ferdy Baglo ENI-04-0062 Thursday, February 12, 2004 [Ecumenical News International] A campaign is being launched by Canadian churches to raise public awareness about violence against Aboriginal women, an estimated 500 of whom have disappeared over the past 20 years. "In Canada, Aboriginal women continue to be targets of hatred and violence based on their gender and race," the United Church of Canada said in a document about the initiative. The campaign - called Sisters in Spirit - will be launched in Canada's capital, Ottawa, on 22 March by the United and Anglican churches, and the Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC). "We want to start documenting the women who have gone missing or been murdered," said Terri Brown, the NWAC's president. "We will be doing a lot of education work in schools, community centres, churches, wherever we can educate people about the racism and the sexism that Aboriginal women face in the country." The campaign aims to persuade the Canadian government to establish a CN$10 million (US$7.5 million) fund for research and education related to violence against Aboriginal women - women who belong to Indian, Meti or Inuit communities in Canada.

A judge has sentenced prominent Alabama trial lawyer Garve Ivey to 30 days in jail after a jury convicted him on misdemeanor charges arising out of a smear campaign against the state’s Lieutenant Governor, Steve Windom (see Sept. 1 and Aug. 26 , 1999). Shortly before the 1998 election , with Windom running a hard-fought race against a trial lawyer-backed opponent, a former prostitute and heroin addict named Melissa Myers Bush stepped forward with a lawsuit dramatically charging that Windom had raped and beat her seven years earlier when she worked for an escort service. Ivey, who was serving at the time as an official of the state trial lawyers association, paid to have 300 copies made of a videotape of Bush describing her charges, "which were distributed to news outlets across the state”. But as questions arose, Bush soon recanted and said she'd been paid to tell her story and that it was false. According to later testimony at trial, Bush accepted $2,700 from Birmingham businessman Scott Nordness, money that was later reimbursed by Ivey. Nordness was granted immunity by prosecutors seeking his testimony and charges were filed against Ivey and a private investigator who'd worked with him, Wes Chappell. Update: in July 2001 the Alabama Supreme Court reversed these convictions and ordered Ivey acquitted of the charges (see

Bonnie Green, who participates in Project Ploughshares and is the director of the Office of Church in Society of the United Church of Canada, has collected and edited nine papers by prominent people in the field who outline a dramatic change in the approach the Churches have taken. The essays are uniformly excellent and provide insights from different perspectives. A valuable feature is the inclusion at the end of the essays of three appendices. Appendix 1 contains excerpts from a brief by the CCC to the Special Joint Committee on Canada's International Relations, November 1985. Appendix 2 is a brief to the Minister of External Affairs on policy in Southern Africa by the CCC in July 1987. Appendix 3 outlines excerpts from a 1989 discussion paper on the international debt crisis for the Canadian Churches. The Appendices show just how progressive, articulate, and sophisticated the Churches' views in foreign affairs have become.

UNITED CHURCH OF CANADA AND HOMOSEXUALITY Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. Depending on how church size is defined, the United Church of Canada is either the largest or next to largest Protestant denomination: About 3.1 million Canadians identify themselves with the United Church of Canada The church reports 684,000 confirmed members. Fewer (about 2.2 million) Canadians identify themselves as Anglicans, However, the church reports 737,000 confirmed members more than the United Church. This is the most liberal of the larger Protestant denominations in Canada. It is exceeded in size only by the Roman Catholic church . It was formed in 1925 by a merger of most congregations of the Association of Congregational Churches in Canada , the Methodist Church and the Presbyterian Church in Canada . Some Presbyterian congregations remained part of a separate mainline religious organization; some Methodists split off to form the very conservative Free Methodist church. From its birth, it has had to accommodate a diversity of theological beliefs. It has had a history of tackling publicly the really tough social issues. Some cynics might say that they have a continual urge to shoot themselves in the foot, or to form a circular firing squad. It can be argued that they lose membership whenever they enter into one of these debates. But they have also gained members, partly because of the respect that Canadians have for the Church's courage, openness, and inclusiveness. Less courageous liberal and mainline denominations often follow where the United Church has led.

Canadian churches push summit leaders on human rights Maxwell Ryan CW Staff The Canadian Council of Churches (CCC) defines such an economy as incuding: UN human rights standards; people in the Americas; communities; and education; lectual property rights do not block access to life-saving medicines. At the first Summit of the Americas in Miami in December of 1994, leaders identified a number of social issues that would need to be addressed including strengthening democracy, sustainable agriculture, eliminating poverty and ending discrimination. Pfrimmer says these are all laudable and necessary goals but that political leaders have not shown the public how these goals will be achieved. David Pfrimmer expects that the churches will hear from at least some of the delegates who, he says, agree with the substance of the communique.
