Description
The mainline churches in Canada have increasingly pursued an active and progressive role in the debate over Canadian foreign policy. Canadian Churches and Foreign Policy presents a collection of essays describing the churches' involvement in foreign policy.
The essays in this volume address nuclear weapons, human rights, Third World development, refugees and the role of Canada in international relations. It also includes an analytic overview of the impact of the churches on Canadian foreign policy.
Canadian Churches and Foreign Policy explores the issues and values that move church workers to defend the interests of the world's disenfranchised peoples.
