CRC Do Justice

CRC Do Justice Do Justice is a conversation starter for justice in the CRC. It all boils down to being polite, courteous, and Christ-like in the way we communicate online.

Community Guidelines

These guidelines are not exhaustive, but they’re intended to help understand our approach to user posted content. We want this to be a community that encourages everyone to share without fear of harsh responses. When someone shares a personal story or comment, respect is especially necessary. In our view, a good post or comment:

- stays on-topic; comments should directly re

late to the original post or resource.
- is concise and easy to follow.
- is polite and respectful in tone and language, even when you strongly disagree.
- contributes something new and positive to the discussion.
- has clear authorship—that means using your real name.
- is truthful and avoids making or repeating false claims. And avoids:

- dominating the discussion or repeating yourself.
- arguing back and forth; take it elsewhere or agree to disagree.
- making derogatory remarks and/or personal comments about others.
- undermining the church or its ministries. Constructive criticism is welcome.
- posting under false pretenses—including for commercial gain.
- posting primarily to advertise or solicit funds.
- explicitly supporting or opposing specific politicians or parties. All comments regarding public policy should refer only to the policy in question. Any comments judged to be of a partisan nature will be reviewed and/or removed (per CRA guidelines). If you see a comment or post that you believe does not meet the standards listed here, please 'flag' it for review and decision by one of our moderators. Moderators aren’t perfect, but we try to make the best decisions we can for the good of the whole community. A moderator’s decisions are final and a comment or post may be removed without further explanation. Discussions about why a comment or post was or wasn’t removed will be deemed off topic and removed. If you have questions about these comment guidelines, don't hesitate to email us at [email protected].

"When I first signed up for Hearts Exchanged, I’ll be honest: I arrived with a mix of excitement and a touch of skepticism. I’m young enough that I had a basic understanding of Indigenous reconciliation because it’s now widely taught in school, so I didn't expect to be "shocked" by the information. I was eager to learn, but in my naivety I wasn't sure just how much room I actually had to grow.

I was quickly proven wrong..."

As wildfire season intensifies across parts of Canada, thousands of people have again been displaced from their homes, with Indigenous and northern communities disproportionately affected. Leaders from First Nations communities in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Ontario continue calling attention to gaps in emergency infrastructure, evacuation support, and long-term climate resilience as families face repeated displacement and uncertainty.

"I maintained a happy mom façade while my family packed their suitcases, but as they drove off and I waved goodbye from the window, tears filled my eyes.

All winter long, I’d looked forward to this small mountain getaway that they had just embarked on. I’d begun planning this spring break trip last November, while in the throes of a challenging year. Envisioning the happy days to come in fresh spring mountain air made me smile through the coldest and darkest winter days..."

05/21/2026

A growing Ebola outbreak in Central Africa has prompted the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” Current reports indicate more than 130 deaths and over 500 concerning cases. Health experts warn that outbreaks like this, if not contained early, can rapidly become catastrophic in regions with fragile healthcare systems.

Justice requires us to recognize that disease is deeply interconnected with other ongoing realities rather than isolated crises. Prolonged violence in neighbouring Sudan, for instance, has caused tens of thousands of deaths and mass displacement. Epidemics therefore disproportionately affect communities already suffering from trauma, poverty, overcrowding, and weakened healthcare infrastructure.
