A time to meddle

Canadians take the fundamental right to vote for granted. Just as Christians are called to be immersed in a spiritual life, they are called as citizens to engage in their civic duty.

Green Party leader Elizabeth May names “econo-theism” as Canada’s national faith

At the Green Choices for Faith Communities conference, Elizabeth May told delegates if you’re not talking dollars and cents the government won’t listen.

TORONTO - Canada is not a secular state. It is ruled by "econo-theism," Green Party leader Elizabeth May told a March 25 interfaith conference in Toronto.

“We worship the economy,” May told delegates to the Green Choices for Faith Communities conference at the Noor Cultural Centre.

The conference organized by Greening Sacred Spaces and the Green Awakening Network included presentations on political activism for churches, spirituality, solar power for Churches and modern lighting systems to cut energy use.
