Can the Church be active politically?
There is no specific law in Canada’s constitution requiring the separation of Church and State. It is only the tax-exempt status of churches and charitable organizations that require them not to be politically active.
This tax exempt status has caused the Church to be quiet with regards to government activities. The church has been apathetic and allowed a small part of our population to rapidly move their agenda through Parliament and the courts, to the point that now we wonder how we got into this mess! We must stand up for the basic Christian values and principles that we believe are needed for our nation. If that means we forgo our tax exempt status — so be it! We need to be brave enough to speak up NOW. The task of government is to maintain order so that the Church can do it’s duties, including being the conscience of the nation.
