Welcome to the Canadian Community of Christ  Peace / Justice -- Human Rights site!

Our  belief in the sacredness of all life calls us to engage in the world, joining with all others who endeavour to raise the basic level of well-being of all.  This site provides some of our guiding principles that inform our stance on peace and justice issues, as well as some primary Canadian-specific issues that effect such well-being, and where possible, resources and actions to help address those issues.

All life is sacred!
