Suggested ARPA Resource: "Churches and Political Activity: What Is and Isn't Allowed"

By Patrick B. Craine, CALGARY, Alberta, January 21, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has revoked the charitable status of Kings Glory Fellowship (KGF), a Christian church in Calgary.  CRA cites a number of issues with KGF's application, but the decision is based, in part, on the ground that certain KGF Board members have spoken out strongly against abortion, and other moral issues.

ARPA Canada has previously made readers aware of the campaign to increase the Charitable Tax Credit from 29% to 42%. This is being organized by a Christian thinktank called Cardus. A caucus meeting is taking place on Thursday, where MP's will have an opportunity to discuss the upcoming budget, among other things. If you believe this campaign is a good idea, it is important that you call up your MP and voice your support soon! If they hear from enough Canadians they may consider this for the upcoming budget. Learn more about this by going to www.29to42.ca. Find the phone number for your MP by clicking here.

Some noteworthy findings of this new poll include:

• Fewer than half think that abortions should be publicly funded, as they currently are.
• "A large majority of Canadians (79%) would back an initiative in their own province that would make it mandatory for health care workers to offer information to pregnant women about alternatives to abortion."

Creation cries out for the hope of the New Creation. " [Read the whole article here.]
