The Ecumenical Health Care Network
The Ecumenical Health Care network contributes an ethical voice to the ongoing dialogue and debate about the future of health care in Canada. The Network engages the churches in ongoing support for the common good through education and advocacy within the churches, in the broader community and by engagement with government as appropriate.
Churches in Canada have had a significant role in the development of public health care in Canada. In acknowledgement of their role the Ecumenical Health Care Network published the documents listed below in a resource entitled A Healthcare Covenant. The book includes a forward by Dr. Nuala Kenny, a well known healthcare ethicist, and an afterword by the Rev. Dr. Kenneth Bellous, of the Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec, along with an appendix of church actions in support of healthcare since 1950.
To order your copy of the book contact The Canadian Council of Churches office: delph@ccc-cce.ca. Cost: $10/book (includes shipping costs).
