Dear family in Christ –
On Saturday, the General Council affirmed the continued application of the Justice Principles to the advocacy work of The United Church of Canada, by passing GCE 10 Authorizing Action for a Principle-Based Approach to Justice Work in the United Church of Canada with Regards to Palestine-Israel.*
In doing this, the Council directed the General Secretary to continue reporting on the advocacy work related to Palestine and Israel, to the Executive of the General Council. How the justice principles are applied in the advocacy is a key part of the reporting.
