A Joint Statement of the Calgary Mennonite Churches Concerning White Supremacist Activity in Calgary
2010, 3 pp
Over the past several years, there has been a disturbing increase in white supremacist and
hate activity in Calgary. This has resulted in violent clashes between white supremacists and
anti-racist activists on several occasions. The following statement is issued jointly by the
Mennonite Churches of Calgary to reflect our dissent and concern with the ideology of hate
and the associated violence which has afflicted our city. We issue this statement in
recognition of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (March 21).
This Statement is based on the biblical text, the “Confession of Faith in a Mennonite Perspective” and the draft “Initial Statement Towards an Ecumenical Declaration on Just Peace” by the World Council of Churches.
Also see the related worship service, Press On: A Christian Response to Hate.
