- Notes
- "Thirty years ago Moose Lake, Manitoba, was a contented native community, with a diverse economy based on trapping, fishing, hunting and farming. That all changed when the Manitoba Hydro built a dam which flooded the land, destroying wildlife, making fishing difficult and wiping out agricultural activity. Negotiations are now underway with Manitoba Hydro for compensation. A $10,000 Primate's Fund grant is helping to provide research and documentation needed to develop a compensation package. This work is being done in consultation with the whole community. Bishop John Conlin of the diocese of Brandon has actively supported the community in its efforts."

- Includes list of "Resources", pp. [147]-151.
- "The stories told in this book are true stories about people who refuse to separate economics from community. From loving one's neighbour as oneself. And from caring about the earth under one's feet. These days, the movement supported by people who want to build a neighbourly economy is often called 'community economic development'. (The same idea gets different names at different moments; in my father's youth, it was called 'the co-operative movement'.)" Intro. p. 3-4.

- The author, resources/information officer for the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund, talks about consumerism and the benefits of a "alternative" Christmas with reduced gift-giving. "We still claim that the true spirit of Christmas is in giving. If so, we can help those most in need, instead of swapping gifts with friends who have everything they require. Why not make donations to the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund in their name. (PWRDF has a handy Christmas card gift for this purpose.)"

- 75 Anglicans and other Christians gathered in Edmonton from 15-21 August 2014 for a justice camp. "Sponsored by the diocese of Edmonton, this year's gathering focused on the theme of 'land', where participant learned about issues involving food security, ecology and conservation, and the oil and gas industry, among others". "Stephen Martin, professor of theology at King's [College, Edmonton], outlined the central role that land plays in people's faith and lives. God's desire for people to honour the gift of land has become distorted he said. 'Land is not seen as a gift from God, but as a commodity. The land is good, but we have not always been good to the land'." "The Rev. Chris Brouillard-Coyle, rector at the Anglican Parish of St. Paul's, Essex and Trinity, in Cottam, diocese of Huron, was part of the group that visited Fort McMurray". "Meanwhile, a seven-member Cuban delegation came to receive training for a justice camp being planned for Cuba in 2015".

- "'The war on poverty' (Feb. 2012, p. 1) was first-rate. I was particularly pleased that you profiled examples of Anglican action to counter root causes of poverty and homelessness. ... In the diocese of Toronto, we are mobilizing Anglicans and others to meet with provincial politicians and urge them to support a minimum wage increase, a housing benefit for low-income tenants and the indexation of social assistance rates. We often hear back from politicians. We are also urging our provincial government to consider fair, modest tax increases to finance the measures we advocate. We've also published a theology of taxation reflection paper. Our experience is that most politicians appreciate engaging in dialogue with us. Recently, a Conservative politician told an Anglican delegation: 'Everyone talks about poverty, but Anglicans are actually trying to do something'."
