Biblical Justice

We've made commitments throughout the years as a denomination to turn away from the sins of colonization and dehumanization and towards a better way of walking together, in respect of our treaties and Indigenous rights. 

It’s said so often in the U.S. that churches that get involved in social justice decline in membership. But the story of Korea, and the story of the African-American community in the U.S., tells a very different story. 

The best way to do justice is to follow Scripture  and pursue actual justice. The CRC can and should get involved in politics, but only within the context of the following three criteria. 

World Renew believes that educating church communities about Christ’s call to respond to the needs of people who suffer from poverty, hunger, and disaster can transform perspectives and be the catalyst for change — here in North America and around the world.

My advice to you is the advice I’m learning to embrace myself: write boldly about important things, ruffle feathers, speak your truth, love God, be propelled out, build community, proclaim Christ!

Look inside for an update from World Renew, Disability Concerns, the Office of Race Relations, the Office of Social Justice, Safe Church Ministry, the Centre for Public Dialogue, and the Canadian Aboriginal Ministries Committee. 

We don’t know what we invite in when we open up our table. What we do know is that we have been called by a welcoming God. We know that we have been called by a God who just loves to reconcile—it’s his favorite work.

This past Saturday I noticed that thousands of young “March for our Lives” demonstrators marched on the streets of our cities but none in front of my church or other churches in the community. Why?

Last fall the Canadian Aboriginal Ministry Committee (CAMC) invited pastors and churches in Canada to consider together what it means that the land we call Canada has been inhabited for far more than 150 years.

March is celebrated as Women's History Month. With this in mind, I wanted to share some books authored by women that have ignited my faith, moved me to action, and helped form my identity in Christ.
