Information about the Social Justice Group

The Social Justice group is composed of members of the congregation who meet on a regular basis to study and educate themselves, as well as the congregation, on social issues which affect us all. The issues selected are corporate responsibility, aboriginal justice and restorative justice. The committee has so far made presentations on Jubilee 2000, its theological and historical and economic aspects, and the Multilateral Investment Agreement.

On May 2nd the sermon period was a presentation by lay preacher, Suzanne Cross, and several First Nation people on the subject of residential schools. In the fall the Rev'd Joyce Sanchez will preach on restorative justice. Abstracts of presentations about the Jubilee 2000 campaign are being prepared.
