Since launching the remit about restructuring the Indigenous Church in March 2023, we have received a number of questions about the remit process, as well as about the remit itself.
We hope that the remit video offers you additional information to help your regional council or pastoral charge’s governing body to make a decision on the remit question by the deadline of March 31, 2024.
Additional background information about the remit is also available on the General Council 44 website. Further questions can be emailed to remits@united-church.ca.
Watch and download the video.

Your Generosity Matters: United against Hate
On February 15, Mission & Service partners United in Learning, Affirming Connections, and Affirm United/S'Affirmer Ensemble collaborated to host a webinar called United Against Hate. The webinar was an overwhelming success, with the live limit of 100 participants reached. Those who could not attend were encouraged to watch the recording. Your gifts to Mission & Service help support future events that will enable Affirming communities of faith to truly live into that identity in practical and safe ways.
