SURVEY: NUMBER OF RELIGIOUS LOBBYING GROUPS IN D.C. IS UP FIVEFOLD Nov 23, 2011

Roman Catholic, Protestant and Jewish advocacy groups make up 58 percent of the groups in the study. One in 6 represents smaller religious communities, including the Baha’is, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs, while the remaining quarter studied are multifaith or representative of no specific religious tradition. Just over 40 percent of the firms lobby for individuals rather than institutions or specific religious denominations.

The Big Three: Multifaith Text Comparison, November 2, 2011

Join Hillel, the Muslim Student Alliance, and Lutheran Campus Ministry as we explore the commonalities between different religious traditions!

This will be a round table discussion featuring people from Christian, Islamic, and Jewish traditions as we discuss verses from the three canonical texts: The Bible, Quran, and Torah. Major themes to discuss are: charity, Love of god, Justice, and Sabbath.

Report, after the event:

We had a great time during the event as students from CSU from the Muslim Student Association, Hillel and Lutheran Campus Ministry as well as other Christians came together to listen, share and study selected pieces from the Qur'an, the Torah and the Bible. We studied readings that related to these 4 topics: Sabbath, Charity, Love of God and Justice.
The amount of students who came was about 15, but we had a great time sharing with each other and the food created a hospitable atmosphere. The comments were very positive from the students and we plan on having a gathering at Hillel early in the spring semester. We will plan this even in December.

FREDERICTON (CNB) - Health-care facilities in New Brunswick and across Canada are observing Spiritual and Religious Care Awareness Week, Oct. 16 - 22. "This important week honours those who provide spiritual and religious care and recognizes the value in providing these services," said Health Minister Madeleine Dubé. "Spiritual well-being is an essential part of overall wellness and we are fortunate to have dedicated spiritual and religious care providers in our province to offer counsel and support." The theme for 2011 is Diverse Voices: Building Bridges and is aimed at reinforcing the commitment to support and value the services offered by spiritual and religious providers. Spiritual care is recognized by the regional health authorities as an essential part of the holistic care of patients, and is provided by a combination of staff and volunteers.

Week recognizes spiritual care, Stratford Gazette, November 10, 2011, Reverend Kathi Urbasik-Hindley, HPHA chaplain
We recently celebrated Spiritual and Religious Care Awareness Week, Oct. 16–22, the theme of which was “Diverse Voices: Building Bridges.” This theme reinforces a commitment to support and value the services offered by spiritual and religious care providers. The week offers an opportunity to recognize the value of spiritual and religious care and to honour those who provide the care. Spiritual and religious care is about listening, clarifying and offering spiritual direction or support when significant life changes occur. The Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance (HPHA) respects the right of all people to their individual belief systems and religious affiliations and is committed to provision of care that is characterized by care, compassion and concern for the whole person. This includes care for physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. The HPHA recognizes, with deep thanks, the contributions of staff and faith community volunteers in each of the partner hospitals for providing the best care possible to clients, patients and their families. The week is sponsored by the Ontario Multifaith Council, one of North America’s largest organizations dedicated to advocacy of spiritual care and the protection of religious rights. The activities of the Council promote an environment of acceptance and respect amongst the diverse communities of Ontario. Each year during the week the Council provides packages to individuals and facilities across the province to help celebrate this very special work.

Multifaith spaces can offer dialogue opportunities, Mette Eriksen, Al-Masry Al-Youm. 26/09/2011

People from different religious backgrounds living side by side has been a challenge in Egypt, as well as many places, for ages.

In India, Europe and the US so-called multifaith spaces have had some success creating shared spaces where people can practice whichever belief they have together.

One type of multifaith space is a room in a public building such as an airport or university, where people of any denomination who want to pray when they are in such a place can do so. Continue reading

New York Law To Ensure Freedom To Turbaned Sikh Employees

08 September 2011

In signing the law, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said employers must make a “reasonable accommodation” for an employee’s religious practices unless following such practises creates an “undue hardship.” The undue hardship is now defined as requiring “significant expense or difficulty.”
... Sikh Coalition’s programme director and co-founder Amardeep Singh said the law would ensure that religious minorities like Sikhs and Muslims in the US are not discriminated against by their employers for practising their religion.

“The law is a major step in ensuring Sikhs and other religious minorities are not unfairly excluded from jobs for which they are otherwise qualified,” Singh told PTI.
He said a few Sikhs were told by the New York Police Department (NYPD) that they could not wear their turbans as traffic agents.
Similarly, Sikhs and Muslim workers at the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) were forced to brand their religious headwear with an MTA logo.The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) began imposing this job requirement on Sikh and Muslim workers soon after 9/11, Singh added.
The new legislation would put pressure on public and private employers, not just the NYPD, to allow their employees the freedom to follow their religious beliefs. ... continue reading @ SiliconIndia or South Asian Link

A prayer for tolerance

By Haroon Siddiqui

, Toronto Star, Sat Aug 20 2011; see also: Siddiqui: Secular lingo rationalizes old-fashioned bigotry, Toronto Star Aug 24 2011

EXTRACT: In fact, the board is only doing what it must under the law — accommodate different religious practices. For example:
• Staff members belonging to First Nations, Métis and Inuit need not get up for “God Save the Queen.”
• Jehovah’s Witness students may also sit through, or be excused from class, during “O Canada.” They may not don Halloween costumes.
• Seventh Day Adventists and Jewish students are excused for school-related activities on Saturday.
• In Jewish neighbourhoods, schools reschedule tests, assignments and exams for the Jewish High Holidays.
• Schools hold Christmas/Winter concerts to mark Christmas, often along with Hanukkah and the Hindu Diwali with menorahs and lamps.
• Even in the United States, where separation of church and state is religion, such adjustments are common. In Dearborn, Mich., a champion school football team is practising at midnight this Ramadan to let its majority Muslim players fast during the day and attend evening prayers. continue reading: Toronto Star

Myths and facts about the Muslim prayer space,

BY JESSE MCLAREN,

JULY 23, 2011

Toronto District School Board commended for its reasonable accommodation of Muslim students, IQRA.ca

Working together for the common good of students in the TDSB, IQRA.ca

(July 9, 2011) – In 2005, the Toronto District School Board invited faith groups to work with the Board to develop guidelines for accommodating students who wish to pray in school in accordance with their religious beliefs and practices.

The Ontario Multifaith Council (OMC) was also involved in this exercise....

'Muslim students Praying on Fridays in their school cafeteria

July 11, 2011

Based on the information that we have reviewed we see no issues with students praying in their school cafeteria as long as such activities are sanctioned by the school authorities. We of the HINDU FEDERATION extend compliment to all those involved on providing Canadian youths with the opportunity to pray. In these times when Canadian youths are facing many challenges of poor health habits, substance abuse, gang violence and family issues it is truly comforting to know that some youths are praying and have a place to do so.

I believe that we must try at all times to avoid the sensationalism and sometimes politically motivated actions of a few to disturb the tranquillity of a harmonious entity such as the public school where tolerance and acceptance must be part of the basic educational food that nurtures the young minds of the future leaders of Canada.

I look forward to working with all concerned to bring this matter to a positive closure.

Pt Roopnauth Sharma, President, The Hindu Federation.

Toronto, ON, Friday, July 8, 2011 — There has been a great deal written in the past week about the religious accommodation for Muslim prayers that takes place at Valley Park Middle School from November to May.

There are very many viewpoints that have been expressed concerning this subject. I wish to make the Toronto District School Board’s (TDSB) position on this issue clear.
While the TDSB is part of a secular public school system, like other school boards, we exist within a broader context of law and public policy that protects and defends human rights. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects freedom of religion. The Ontario Human Rights Code protects an individual’s freedom from discriminatory or harassing behaviour based on religion. The Toronto District School Board recognizes and is committed to the values of freedom of religion and freedom from discriminatory or harassing behaviour based on religion through our Equity Foundation Statement, Guidelines and Procedures for the Accommodation of Religious Requirements, Practices and Observances, the Human Rights Policy and Procedures, and the Safe Schools Policy.
The Toronto District School Board takes reasonable steps to provide accommodation to members of religious groups who state that the Board’s operations or requirements interfere with their ability to exercise their religious beliefs and practices. The Board balances its decision to accommodate on several factors such as undue hardship, including: the cost of accommodation to the Board; health and safety risks to the person requesting accommodation and to others; and the Board’s ability to fulfill its duties under Board policies and the Education Act.
Where religious accommodation is concerned, the law is quite clear: freedom of religion in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms supersedes the Education Act. As a public school board, we have a responsibility and an obligation to accommodate faith needs.

Here are some facts regarding the law:
1. Indoctrinating religious instruction is prohibited in public boards.
2. Non-indoctrinating instruction about religion is allowed.
3. Scriptural readings from a variety of religions and beliefs, and moments of silence, are permitted during opening or closing exercises.

One of our primary goals is always to maximize instructional time for our students. We do this entirely within the context of instruction rather than indoctrination in any religion. In this way, we strive to achieve the respectful separation of religious devotion and education within our public schools. That is our legal and moral duty.
In the case of Valley Park, the school is not teaching the “religious practice.” Rather it is accommodating for the religious and spiritual needs of the students like many other schools do around the country for a number of different faith communities. Providing this religious accommodation does not violate any Board policies since the service is not a Board or school activity.
There have been concerns expressed that the practice of Islam separates individuals by gender. We do not have the authority to tell faith groups how to pray. The division of the sexes which occurs during the service is a part of the Islamic faith. Students who participate in the prayer services do so voluntarily and with parental permission, and no one is obligated to participate.
We understand that this is a very sensitive issue for many, and that there will continue to be differing opinions among members of our communities. However, we believe it is the willingness to have courageous conversations like these that has made Canada the diverse yet cohesive society that comes together in Toronto District School Board’s classrooms every day.

Dignity Project debunks poverty myths, By Robert White, ChristianWeek April 12, 2011

Canadians care about poor but don't know enough about them.

Myths many believe about the poor include:

Poverty is a choice and the poor are the problem - with 49 per cent of Canadians believing "if the poor really want to work, they can always find a job" and 43 per cent believing "a good work ethic is all you need to escape poverty."
A final myth the Dignity Project study explodes is that Canadians are apathetic about poverty - respondents ranked poverty as the third most important issue facing the country today. More than half the respondents believed a family of four is able to live off of $10,000 to $30,000 a year. And people in Canada who are living in poverty still have it pretty good (37 per cent).
... The Dignity Project survey was only the starting point for The Salvation Army's continuing war on poverty. continue reading

Prince Charles and his wife Camilla have been in Morocco since Monday to hold talks on trade, environmental and multi-faith issues.

During a discussion with Islamic scholars at the Al-Qarawiyyin University in Fez, The Telegraph quoted the prince as saying: "One of the hardest things is to remind people of the great truth of traditional Islam, not distorted Islam, and trying to remind people of the great truth of traditional Christianity, not distorted Christianity, and we know there are problems in both religions."

Extract: RELIGIOUS education in state schools must be replaced by a multifaith version that includes different ethical traditions and be taught by trained teachers rather than volunteers, says a new network of academics.

...According to the group, the current model (volunteers teaching about Christianity) is exclusivist and at odds with government aims to promote social inclusion. This model, which reaches about half the children in state schools, is becoming controversial, and three parents have complained to the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission that it is discriminatory.

Should the government be able to dictate what is religious education? In the Province of Quebec, the government is doing just that. Parents have taken the Province of Quebec to court, resulting in this important case about religious freedom.

Final Scenes: Bedside Tales at End of Life by Janet Stark

Winnipeg, MB., Word Alive Press, 2010 [ISBN: 1770691251]

About the Book: Final Scenes is a collection of moving stories concerning end-of-life. Janet Stark's narrative style is fresh, honest and personal. Told in a heart-warming way, and at times with humour, Janet seeks to express the hope and comfort that come from compassionate care. Helping someone die is a privilege, and providing God's love, through human hands can be a blessing, helping the ill person and family reach spiritual wellness. Telling the story can also become a step in healing for the grieving loved one. Final Scenes is designed as a creative teaching tool. Filled with lessons about best practice in providing authentic hospice care, these stories can be discussed by the medical team; hospice and pastoral care volunteers; and the ill person and family. Janet's insight in end-of-life care comes from her experiences as Spiritual Care Director and Certified Multifaith Chaplain of a community hospital in Eastern Ontario. She can be reached at: jstark9@cogeco.ca

"Our lives are just out on loan from God 's Library." Final Scenes, p. 53

Review: "The Final Scenes is an accessible book addressing the art of end of life care and particularly the spiritual realm. Ms. Stark provides readers with short stories that are easy-to-digest lessons on how volunteers, family members, health professionals, and spiritual care providers can make remarkable differences in the lives of patients/families. Her early experience of a ‘good death’ with her own grandmother informs her writing, providing readers with opportunities to think about what matters most. While heavily informed by Christianity, the book makes spiritual support very concrete.

In her first vignette, Ms. Stark introduces the reader to an older woman who was quite comfortable that she would likely die in the near future. After praying with the woman, saying thanks for all the gifts of life, and asking for healing in whatever way God had planned, Ms. Stark found out that what the woman really wanted was a “baked potata”. This humorous ending reminds us that sometimes end of life care is really that simple.

The Final Scenes can be used for individual learning and personal reflection as well as for initiating discussions with hospice palliative teams. Stories such as “Flickering Light” challenge the reader to assess whether they believe that the dead send signs from beyond. “Bringing in the Cows” reminds us to think beyond medications in dealing with agitation. Ms. Stark infuses the book with comical moments which bring the importance of laughing to the forefront. I look forward to using this book in my work."

Sorry? Apologies overrated, study finds

Lorianna De Giorgio, Toronto Star, Feb 1 2011
The healing power of an apology is highly overrated suggests new research published in the January issue of Psychological Science.
David De Cremer, a professor of behavioural business ethics at the Rotterdam School of Management at Erasmus University in the Netherlands, found apologies regularly fail to live up to peoples’ expectations. De Cremer describes Western society as an apology culture in which people are not only brought up to place a high importance on an apology but to demand an apology when there are transgressions in relationships. “Since childhood, people tell you to apologize,” De Cremer told the Star. “An apology is an important social glue of our society. We won’t function and survive without it.”

Doctors are failing the empathy test: study

By Sharon Kirkey, Postmedia News January 25, 2011, National Post
Doctors are routinely missing or ignoring moments that beg for empathy and need more training in responding to human emotions, an article in Canada’s leading medical journal says. Researchers from the University of Toronto and Duke University in Durham, N.C., say studies suggest doctors fail up to 90% of the time to respond to emotional cues from their patients. “Empathy is the ability to understand another’s experience, to communicate and confirm that understanding with the other person and to then act in a helpful manner,” the authors write in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. But, in real practice, doctors “infrequently articulate” empathetic responses, they say. To read more click here
