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:

Retirement Search for: Books Magazines British Books British Magazines Keywords: In Good Faith : Canadian Churches Against Apartheid (Comparative Ethics, Vol 4) Renate Pratt In retrospect it is difficult to accept that Western democracies have implicitly supported, or at least tolerated, the legalized system of white supremacy in South Africa known as apartheid. 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.

50. 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.

Ecumenical Statement on the Humanitarian Crisis in the Horn of Africa and the Churches’ Response Inter-Church Action, an ecumenical coalition of six Canadian churches and agencies, works with partner churches and agencies in the Horn of Africa, where an estimated 18 million people arecurrently facing a food crisis and are urgently in need of relief assistance. Ethiopia is the most severely affected, in terms of sheer numbers (8 million people), but parts of Eritrea, Somalia, northern Kenya, Uganda, Sudan,and Djibouti are also vulnerable. To avoid a major humanitarian catastrophe,food relief and assistance in re-establishing food reserves are required immediately. The current crisis has its roots in the failure of the rains since 1998 and the decline in crop production, resultingin a significant increase in the number of vulnerable people requiring food assistance. Food reserves, set up by the Ethiopian Government after the 1984/5 famine, became depleted, and the international community did not respond quickly enough to restock the reserves. Now, those most vulnerable to food insecurity - the old and children – are dying. As well as drought, the border conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea has disrupted food productionand distribution, driven people off their land, and hampered aid delivery. Insecurity in Somalia and Sudan compounds the crisis. Canadian churches are responding to this humanitarian emergency in a number of ways: Channelling donations from churches and the public to Action by Churches Together (ACT) and Caritas International, two global networks of churches and agencies responding to emergencies. Both networks are supporting the relief activities of the Joint Relief Partnership (JRP), a consortium set up in 1984 to respond to the needs of famine victims in Ethiopia. The members of the JRP include the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus, Lutheran World Federation/Dep’t of World Service, Catholic Relief Services, and the Ethiopian Catholic Church. JRP, through ACT and Caritas International, has issued a US$32 m. appeal for Ethiopia to provide 67,312 MT of food for 750,000 people. The appeal includes an agricultural componentcomprising seeds, fertilizers, farm tools, draft animals, as well as provision of water and animal fodder;

American churches interested in George W. Bush's program of "faith-based" social services should carefully consider the experience of Canadian churches with Native residential schools. Faithful Unto Bankruptcy Lessons of the Residential Schools in Canada The framers of the United States constitution knew a phrase, not much used today: "mitre and sceptre". It referred to an alliance between the governing authorities and the dominant, or "established" church. They feared an alliance between government and religious leaders using both a police force and threats of Hell to control dissent. The debate over the separation between church and state has generally reflected this concern: that religious believers might succumb to the temptation to oppress other believers, or non-believers. In fact, the protection provided by the separation of church and state works both ways. It shields the public from the passions and conflicts aroused by religious belief, but it also protects the churches from the errors and failures of society. President George W. Bush has said he wants more social services delivered by religious organisations. Faith has played an important part in his life; he believes it can improve the lives of other people.

Church Focus Global Justice and the Canadian Churches James MacLean For nearly three decades the Catholic Church in Canada has been cooperating with other Canadian churches in promoting social justice at home and abroad. This work has been carried out through "inter-church coalitions," national agencies set up by the major Christian denominations to work on a particular question concerning ethics and society for example, international trade, peace, aboriginal rights, poverty in Canada, corporate responsibility, justice for the underdeveloped world, solidarity with Latin America, Africa or Asia. These agencies have been mandated to undertake research, public education, political lobbying, fund-raising, and other forms of support for their particular constituencies. Because of internal problems in the Canadian churches, and especially financial problems arising from compensation sought by victims of abuse in orphanages and native residential schools, the inter-church coalitions are today facing restructuring and probable lay-offs of staff. John XXIII and Vatican II Solidarity with groups and nations that suffer in the dominant economic order has always been a feature of Catholic teaching and practice. However the pontificate of John XXIII, with his encyclical "Pacem in Terris" (1963), and the Second Vatican Council (1962-64), gave new impetus to this aspect of the Church's life. There was a renewed perception that the Christian faith could not be reduced to individual, personal piety.

We trust that you were blessed by it. Trip to Korea Onnuri Community Church is located in Seoul, the capital of Korea. It has a membership of about 20,000 persons. This church invited me to minister to some of the Iranians in Seoul. It supports a very strong ethnic ministry to many nationalities who come to Seoul in pursuit of employment. There are estimates of 5,000 to 20,000 Iranians who live in Korea. Many of them are single men who have come to Korea to find a job. There are also some married men who have left their family in Iran in order to earn a living in Korea. Soon after they arrive here, the Iranians become illegal as the Korean government does not renew their visas. Therefore, because of their illegal residence status, most are employed at the least desirable jobs and paid substandard wages and are often mistreated. As I met about 70 of these Iranians who came to Onnuri Community Church to attend the Iranian Church service or the Korea New Year program I found most of them to be struggling and all of them looking for a way out of their dilemma. Out of the 70 about 10 are born again Christians. Some are seekers. Some had come only for the opportunity to socialize and eat a meal.

November 2, 2001 For Immediate Release LIBERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEIR TREATMENT OF CANADIAN CHURCHES OTTAWA - Canadian Alliance MP Philip Mayfield, Member of Parliament for Cariboo-Chilcotin and Chair of the Canadian Alliance Leader's Advisory Committee investigating the Residential Schools says the Liberal government in Ottawa should be ashamed for demanding that Canadian churches 'sign over' all their property as security for a 30% share of the out of court settlements to be reached with former Indian residential schools students. Mayfield says, "This is typical of the Liberals' efforts to escape the federal government's 100% responsibility - and 100% liability for damages - that the government should assume. Last year, the government negotiators asked a small rural Anglican Church in British Columbia to go home and make a list of jewelry and expensive paintings that could be placed on the auction block. There are no 'Rembrandts' nor jewelry, so now they want their churches." "The Liberals are so concerned about escaping liability for the damage caused by its own residential school policy that it is willing to extend the damage and treat four of Canada's churches as 'collateral damage'. These churches will pay their share even if the government kills them in the process. The government has abandoned negotiations with the churches - resorting to negotiating in public," Mayfield continues.
