SOCIAL ISSUES

Indigenous Rights:

    • Canadian Christian organization Kairos works to bring reconciliation between the church and Canadian Indigenous peoples. Visit their website for more information: https://www.kairoscanada.org/what-we-do/indigenous-rights. If you get an opportunity, we strongly encourage you to participate in their Blanket Exercise. We participated as a church in 2017, and it was a powerful experience.
    • Our Elder, Sue Lyon, participated in a multi-church project to end Corporal Punishment in Canada. This project was a response to the Call to Action #6 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). To learn more about this, read the statement.

Internet Porn (Information and Support):

    • Fight the New Drug is a non-religious and non-legislative organization that exists to provide individuals the opportunity to make an informed decision regarding pornography by raising awareness on its harmful effects using only science, facts, and personal accounts. Visit their Get the Facts page to learn why this isn’t a moral issue, but that porn has a serious impact on our brains, relationships and our world.
    • Strength to Fight is a Canadian faith-based organization who is committed to education and awareness about the growing problem of Porn Addiction. Here’s a link to their favourite resources: https://strengthtofight.ca/resources/
