Tip:
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: The official name is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For members of the church, the early Christians are considered former-day saints, while present members of the church are latter-day saints. They are frequently called Mormons, a nickname given them because they believe in the Book of Mormon as the word of God.
The Church was organized in Fayette, New York, on April 6, 1830, under the leadership of Joseph Smith. Today, it has more than 11 million members worldwide, with more than half of all members living outside the United States. The Church is currently growing at an average rate of about 1 million new members every three years. There are about 2,900 members in Manitoba.
Members are organized into local congregations called wards or branches. These congregations are organized geographically, and members attend a ward or branch near their home. Congregations meet together on Sundays to worship. The leader of a congregation is a bishop or a branch president. He is not paid for his service, but he donates his time to serve the congregation.
