Notes: "Published 1998". -- verso of t.-p.; "The Canadian Ecumenical Jubilee Initiative comes out of an ecumenical justice community consisting of staff and volunteers from coalitions, denominations and other church-related organizations, and the networks of people from across Canada to whom they relate.

Our intention is to take advantage of this moment in history to strengthen the churches' capacity to work for social justice and ecological integrity, and to facilitate theological reflection, education and networking in the Jubilee tradition. Organizations participating in this initiative as of March 31, 1998 include ... Anglican Church of Canada ...". -- Preface, p.

We offer it to the Church and the broader public as a vehicle for study, discussion and action". -- Preface, p.
