- Notes
- The Rev. Brent Neumann, an Anglican Church of Canada priest, worked with the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) in London for 3 years ministering to AIDS patients. That nearly cost him his job in Dawson Creek BC where fundamentalists disapproved of his ties to MCC. He is now working to set up a comprehensive pastoral care program in the hospital in Dawson Creek which did not have a chaplain before his arrival. "`A hospital is a scary spot', Mr. Neumann explains. `People there are sick, broken, sometimes dying. In a death-denying society such as ours, a hospital is not a popular place."
