The Church Council, in collaboration with the Mennonite Central Committee Canada and the Quakers, is playing an active role in developing a project to resource and train pastoral care so they may respond to the needs of victims of crime in their community. The first step, which took place during our 2009 Annual General Meeting, was to promote a national consultation (French) that brought together representatives from NGOs, government, churches, hospitals, prisons, and other ministries.
Our ultimate goal is to work together with Churches to develop a a pilot project which we expect will be disseminated to churches across Canada. For more information on this project, please contact CCJC.
