Religion and Politics in Canada is always a hot topic in a pre-election period. For an informed look at how the Canadian government should reconsider the role of religion in our country, see the article by Iain Benson, Executive Director of the Centre for Cultural Renwal titled: "Taking a Fresh Look at Religion and Public Policy in Canada: The Need for a Paradigm Shift."

At long last, the report from Gerard Bouchard and Charles Taylor on reasonable accommodation in Quebec has been released, and provides a wealth of story ideas for reporters covering religion in Canada. For an abridged pdf of the full report, check out this webpage for "Building the Future: A Time for Reconciliation". Bear in mind that the Commission was launched out of concerns in Quebec over Muslim headscarves, Sikh kirpans, and the possibility of sharia law coming to Canada….so the implications of accommodating religious practices, values, traditions and rights are analyzed within the framework of Canadian society and national values.

Notes: Lutherans have been continually present in Canada since the 1750s, when German Lutheran immigrants arrived in Halifax. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada is the major Canadian representative of the traditions of the Lutheran reformation of the catholic Christian church. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada came into being in 1986 through the merger of two predecessor bodies and today has a membership of about 194,000 in Canada. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada is in full communion with the Anglican Church of Canada.
There are 67 Evangelical Lutheran churches in Manitoba.
