Compilation of church letters, summary and background papers and fact sheets prepared for the WSSD Geneva 2000. Order from ECEJ Introduction It is a bitter irony that the most drastic cuts ever to Canadian social programs began in 1995, the same year as the World Summit on Social Development (WSSD) and the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing. The introduction of the Canada Health and Social Transfer (CHST) and the elimination of the Canadian Advisory Council on the Status of Women marked a retreat from the goals of eradicating poverty and inequality in Canada. The Finance Ministry now projects a substantial budget surplus of C$5.5 billion (in addition to a C$3 billion contingency reserve that will go to debt reduction) for fiscal year 2000/2001. This surplus should be used to fulfill the civil society and church recommendations articulated below under each of the ten WSSD commitments.

Extractions: March 02 Up January 02 [ March 02 ] April 02 May 02 September 02 October 02 ... November 02 March Dear Partners in the Living Loving Linking Project: I am very happy that I was invited by The United Church of Canada to be a visiting scholar at St. Andrew's College in Saskatoon, SK, for one year. I am a pastor in China. I graduated from Nanjing Union Theological Seminary in 1990. After that, I went to pastor a country church for seven years. Since then, I have been a pastor of the Souzou City church. My wife is also a pastor in the same city. We have one son who is ten years old. I never thought I would have an opportunity to travel to another country to study. I just worked hard each day, trying to do my best as a pastor. Then about two years ago, the leaders of the Chinese Christian Council (CCC) and the Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM) Committee told me about an opportunity to study at St. Andrew's College in Canada through its Ecumenical Scholarship program. I was happy to hear this good news, but at the same time, I was concerned about my limited ability in English. However, I decided to come to Canada to study, and arrived in Saskatoon in June, 2001. I am very glad that I decided to come to study in Canada. I have found the Canadian people to be very friendly towards Chinese people. The people of the United Church seem very interested in and concerned about the Church in China, just as the people of the Chinese churches are interested in the Canadian churches. During my time at St. Andrew's College, I have been able to attend many wonderful lectures, and to make many new friends. I want to thank the professors and staff and students of St. Andrew's College, and also some friends from various United Churches, for helping me with my studies and my social life in Saskatoon. You have made me feel very much "at home" here in Canada. I hope that some of you will be able to come to visit me in China.

How Silent Were The Churches? Canadian Protestantism And The Jewish Plight Durin
book, Alan Davies and Marilyn Nefsky, both professors of religion, attempt to setthe record straight concerning the role of canadian churches during the 1930s
http://www.utpjournals.com/product/chr/802/churches16.html

Extractions: Reviewed by Irving Abella York University In this slim but thoroughly researched book, Alan Davies and Marilyn Nefsky, both professors of religion, attempt to set the record straight concerning the role of Canadian churches during the 1930s and 1940s when Canada closed her doors to Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis. In particular they are responding to the charges made in None Is Too Many that the churches were 'silent' in the face of the unrelenting anti-Semitism of this period and did little to support efforts to force open Canada's gates to allow in some of these refugees. The authors limit their study to the role of Canada's Protestant churches, which is understandable, but nontheless regrettable, since the most culpable religious institution in these years was the Roman Catholic Church, particularly in Quebec. As None Is Too Many and various other studies conclude, it was the Catholic Church, its priests, newspapers, official declarations, and sermons, which was in the forefront of the anti-Jewish campaigns of the interwar period and which led the crusade to keep Jews out of the country. For Davies and Nefsky, however, outside Quebec, the Protestant churches were the dominant force in shaping the country's moral ethos. Thus it is Protestantism which is on trial, and it is its record which must be scrutinized.

canadian churches launch campaign on CPP and Talisman. Kairos, theCanadian church social justice coalition, is asking Canadians
http://www.socialinvestment.ca/nw0102-1.htm

Extractions: Kairos, the Canadian church social justice coalition, is asking Canadians to write and meet with their MPs to show their concern with the Canada Pension Plan's investment in Talisman Energy. "The Government of Canada, which portrays itself as a champion of human rights at home and abroad, has refused to take any action against Talisman," Kairos says in a recent Action Statement on the issue. "To date, Ottawa has done nothing. Even more appallingly, the Canadian government is actually profiting from Talisman's complicity in human misery. Besides corporate tax from the company, the Canadian government, through the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), holds about $53.7 million worth of Talisman shares." The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board invests CPP premiums that are surplus to current liabilities in the capital markets. As a policy, the CPPIB invests in the major companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, which includes Talisman Energy. Kairos is asking Canadians to write and, if possible, to meet with their MPs to discuss this situation. Kairos is suggesting that Canadians make the following requests:
The Silence Of Canadian Protestant Churches - Anti-Semitism And Holocaust
book None is Too Many, claimed that canadian churches practised silence as Canadacallously closed its doors to Jewish refugees during the 1930s and 1940s.
http://www.cdn-friends-icej.ca/antiholo/silence.html

Extractions: 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.

http://home.eol.ca/~nemmer/bluesky/church/church.html

Extractions: Attending to the spiritual needs of the very religious Ukrainian pioneers was a problem because none of their clergy had accompanied them from the Old Country. As a result, the first religious services were held in the settlers' homes, often with one of the men conducting the services as best he could. Father Nestor Dmytriw from Pennysylvania was the first Ukrainian priest to visit Canada. In April, 1897, he conducted services in the Stuartburn, Dauphin and Edna areas. This led to the establishment of the first Ukrainian Canadian parishes. In 1897, the first Ukrainian church in Canada was built in the Edna settlement. Since every village in the Old Country had a church in it, it wasn't long before the other Ukrainian settlers were building churches. The design of these humble buildings was based on that of those back home in Ukraine. The churches were small, modest buildings built of logs, employing the building techniques used in Ukraine and proudly displaying their colourful Byzantine heritage. The church preserved the settlers` beloved church traditions and provided a focal point for their social and cultural activities. By 1900, there were six somewhat prosperous parishes with their own churches. These were in Winnipeg, Gonor, Stuartburn and Sifton in Manitoba, and Edna and Rabbit Hills in Alberta. Soon, however, shiny, onion-domed spires were springing up all across the prairies under the sunny blue skies of the New World.

Universal Fellowship Of MCCs - Canada
canadian site with information of UFMCC.
http://www.ualberta.ca/~cbidwell/UFMCC/uf-home.htm

Extractions: Contact an MCC Metropolitan Community Churches [MCCs] were created in 1968 as a way of providing an environment where homosexual Christians could freely worship God and grow in their spiritual journeys. MCC created an environment where all people are accepted, affirmed, and celebrated because of who they are (children of God in infinite variety) and not in spite of an aspect of who they are (such as their sexual orientation). Having experienced personally the tragedy of ignorant and insensitive treatment by those who would shun us as being unworthy, we have become sensitive to the needs of all oppressed peoples or minorities (whether visible or not) and have therefore developed a framework for ourselves which embraces our sexuality - everyone's sexuality - celebrates uniqueness, and strives for inclusivity in all its dimensions. The services we offer (see below) are specially - but not exclusively - geared to people in the gay, bisexual, lesbian and transsexual community. As unique as we feel we are, we are in the end a Christian church which is struggling to understand and follow God's will. In that quest, we are not unique but in some areas we seem to be uniquely successful. So we see ourselves as being here for a long time (since many churches are finding it so difficult to embrace gay and bisexual persons and minister to those with AIDS.) The road we are travelling will be walked by many many people, both gay and non-gay - and we very much welcome that. We started by dealing with gay issues and now we are dealing with God issues that are so exciting in this church. We are not in MCC to become isolated from other churches, nor are we in MCC until there is someplace else to go, we are on a spiritual journey that is trying to faithfully integrate our life experiences in this world and our growing vision (revelation) of God's will for us.
