The Canadian Mothers' Union MU is one of the largest Christian organizations in the world with more than 3.6 million members –– men and women, married and single, parents or not –– in 77 countries. Our aim is to support and encourage marriage and family life. Here in Canada our 800 members in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island work locally at the branch and diocesan level and nationally we form a strong network to assist our sisters and brothers in the north through the Northern Clergy Families Fund (NCFF). Internationally we support the training of 340 Mothers’ Union workers who provide literacy and development programs. At a meeting of the World Conference of Churches in Brazil earlier this year, Archbishop Rowan Williams told Anglican delegates: "When I've said, in the past year or so that the Mothers' Union is the fifth Instrument of Unity in the Anglican Communion, I'm not joking. I think it is the most powerful lay movement in the Anglican World; it is one which does far more for education and development than any other agency in the Anglican Communion and, more than any other agency, it builds relationships at grass roots level between ordinary believers working for change. If that isn't an Instrument of Unity, I don't know what is.	mothersunioncanada.ca
Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives - KAIROS KAIROS unites churches and religious organizations in a faithful ecumenical response to the call to "do justice, and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8). We deliberate on issues of common concern, advocate for social change and join with people of faith and goodwill in action for social transformation.	kairoscanada.org
Greening Spirit This is an interactive website for Anglican Churches throughout British Columbia and the Yukon. Individual parishes can log on to post their commitment to environmental stewardship. It's a "work in progress". There is still more material to be added. Your comments and suggestion will be welcomed. GreeningSpirit was made possible through a grant of $5,000 from Environment Canada (EcoAction Fund) and a grant of $12,000 from the Anglican Initiatives Fund, Diocese of New Westminster. The grant provides for development and ongoing maintenance.	greeningspirit.ca
Anglicans Online is staffed by an unpaid group not affiliated officially with any church body. We write and publish AO every week because of our belief that global communications can help foster global unity in our faith. The issues that unite us are so much stronger and larger than the issues that might sometimes divide us.	anglicansonline.org
ASK - (Anglicans Seeking Knowledge) Anglican Church of Canada has launched a major tool for research - a series of online databases to facilitate research on Anglican policies, resolutions and books. The databases, called "ASK-Anglicans Seeking Knowledge," are part of the General Synod Library's web page and are, as of today, available to the public without charge at http://www.anglican.ca/search/databases.htm The online package consists of five major databases and their accessibility through the internet makes ASK a valuable new resource for the entire Anglican Communion and for researchers world-wide. The databases include a full text database of General Synod policy resolutions dating back to 1924, a full text database of all resolutions of the Lambeth Conferences (1867-1998) and Anglican Consultative Council meetings (1971-2002), a book catalogue database of more than 4,000 titles and an article database containing more than 32,000 articles. Journals indexed include The Anglican Journal, Anglican World, The Church Times, Episcopal Life, MinistryMatters and The Tablet and others. The Content Server/WebPublisher software (also known as INMAGIC) used to create the online databases allows researchers to search and print material from the various databases using the internet. The project, which has been four years in development, demonstrates a commitment to corporate transparency and offers an example of mutual information partnership and reciprocity, said Karen Evans, General Synod Librarian. "We see this project as an example of partnership in mission, an information and communication offering to the wider Anglican Communion," said Ms. Evans.	searchDatabase
