Look Not to Your Own Interests but to the Interests of Others: 2021 Election Guide

We invite you to join The Canadian Council of Churches (the Council) in praying for a healthy and peaceful democratic process.

Federal elections provide an opportunity for people of faith to reconsider what their faith commitments have to do with Canadian public life. Faith can provide an enduring vision of hope, a penetrating perspective on justice for all, and deep convictions about community, care for others, a love for creation, solidarity, and service. We need the vision, perspective, and convictions of people of faith to move us beyond partisan promises and postures to genuine solidarity and service with all people and the whole earth. Issues of concern before us are both national and international in scope.

The two years since Canada’s 2019 federal election have witnessed significant regional, national, and global developments that call for careful prayer and reflection.
