Commentary by Royal Hamel Special to The Interim Some 30 years ago, the United Church of Canada was just beginning her long discussion on homosexuality, which culminated in their recent acceptance of same-sex “marriage.” Back in the early 1970s, I remember reading in the church’s official magazine the call for tolerance and the call to reappraise the message of Scripture on this subject.
At this present moment, Anglicans ... (Continue reading)

Who’s trying to run a steamroller over our justice system and end our traditional family values?
Here’s my list: the human rights tribunals (a sleepover for lib-leaning feminists). The lawyer who came up with house arrests. Lawyers who spend half their life in judges’ chambers making deals. Lawyers who are adept ... (Continue reading)

Tony Gosgnach Assistant Editor This past Christmas was another contentious one, as Christians throughout North America took action to point out attempts by businesses to suppress the true meaning of the season in favour of a no-name “holiday.” On the positive side, Wal-Mart eventually relented from its position of using “holiday” exclusively in its stores and advertising.
But the U.S.-based Liberty Council’s Friend or Foe ... (Continue reading)

Commentary by Donald DeMarco The Interim Jan. 21, the date that President George W. Bush chose for his fellow Americans to honour the sanctity of human life, is significant for two reasons. First, it falls on a Sunday, the Lord’s Day. Secondly, it is one day prior to the 34th anniversary of the infamous Roe v Wade decision that drove a sword into the nation’s commitment to the sanctity of human life, leaving a wound that has ...

Many people would say that we live in a secular society with no room for gods and goddesses. But, I see millions of Canadians devoting themselves to a goddess they do not openly own. No, they don’t ... (Continue reading)

When Malcolm Muggeridge died in 1990, it can be said without any fear of hyperbole that one of the most sparkling minds and souls of contemporary Christianity and the pro-life movement had been taken from us. The body died, but the achievements live on, mostly in books such as Jesus, The Man Who Lives, Paul, Envoy Extraordinary, volumes of ... (Continue reading)

Here’s something I never expected in the mainstream press: an article by a young woman on the experience of being a sperm donor child. In the article entitled, “Father was an anonymous sperm donor,” 18-year-old Katrina Clark wrote in the Washington Post about how she felt ripped off that her feminist mother who, when she was 32 and thought she ...

Pro-life students are nonetheless obliged to provide financial support for all other student activities. One wonders how many more Canadian colleges and universities will follow suit....

The same-sex “marriage” issue is not dead. Just because Stephen Harper says it’s dead doesn’t make it dead. In show business, they have an old expression: it’s not over until the fat lady sings. Harper will be ... (Continue reading)

Notwithstanding the decision by most members of Parliament on Dec. 7 to refuse even to reconsider the abolition of the traditional definition of marriage in Canadian law, this issue is not closed. And it never will be closed, until the great majority of our MPs and judges recognize that they have no more power to change the fundamental nature of ... (Continue reading)

The two young people would soon be married. Happiness flowed and joy, like a gentle fragrance, wafted into their thoughts many times a day. For like all such couples, they anticipated keenly the fruitful, happy life awaiting them.
But massive change came hurtling their way. For the Father threw a cosmic curveball planned from ... (Continue reading)
