Recently, there came a great change in the political landscape of our neighbour to the South. The Republican Party lost its hold on Congress to a very radical Democratic Party.
How did this happen? The media seems to think that it has something to do with the voters disapproval of the War on Terror, or perhaps the recent scandals among Republican officials swayed voters. However, none are mentioning the sharp drop of support from those voters who identify themselves as Evangelical Christians. And while they have noted the fall of Ted Haggard, few are linking him to the election.
And yet, even before his sordid personal life came to light (effectively ending his ministry), he had delivered the Evangelical vote into the hands of their enemy, the Left wing of American politics.
In this devastating and insightful book, Dr. Charles McVety exposes the cause for which Haggard betrayed his political allies and how it is linked to the great falling away predicted in scripture.

Formal Request Filed to Terminate
Henry Morgentaler's Appointment to the Order of Canada
Dr. Henry Morgantaler with NDP Leader Jack Layton
On behalf of the 41,000 members of Canada Family Action Coalition and the hundreds of thousands of like-minded Canadians, on July 3rd, 2008, CFAC filed a formal request in accordance with the Paragraph 25(c) of the Constitution of the Order of Canada for the Advisory Council to recommend that the Governor General terminate Henry Morgentaler's appointment to the Order of Canada.
Dr. Charles McVety, CFAC President, says “Henry Morgentaler's conduct is unbecoming a member of the Order of Canada, violating paragraphs 3(b) (i) and (ii) of the Constitution of the Order of Canada, thereby, tarnishing all recipients of this tremendous award.”
For nineteen years, 1969 to 1988, Dr. Morgentaler admittedly violated Canadian law. His conduct constituted a significant departure from generally recognized standards of public behaviour, violating regulation 3(b) (i) . In 1976, Dr. Morgentaler was sanctioned by the Disciplinary Committee of the Professional Corporation of Physicians of Quebec, which suspended his medical license for one year, placing him in violation of regulation 3(b) ,(ii) of the Constitution of the Order of Canada.
Also, according to reports, it appears that the Advisory Council violated long-standing protocol requiring unanimous consent approving a nominee by resorting to a mere majority vote.
“With such manipulation of the system, we question if the Advisory Council Chair, Justice Beverly McLachlin's well-known ‘unwritten constitutional principles' subverted accepted Council procedures. The integrity of the Order of Canada has been undermined as it has become a political award administered by a judicial activist”, said Brian Rushfeldt, Executive Director of Canada Family Action Coalition.
CFAC also calls upon Prime Minister Stephen Harper to explain how the Government's Privy Council Secretary, Deputy Minister of the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Deputy Minister of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade voted.
Here is the complete formal request:
Ms. Emmanuelle Sajous
The Governor General of Canada
Attention: The Chancellery of Honours
Rideau Hall
1 Sussex Drive
Ottawa, ON K1A 0A1
Phone: (613) 993-8200
July 3, 2008
Dear Ms. Sajous:
On behalf of the 41,000 members of Canada Family Action Coalition and many hundreds of thousands of like-minded Canadians we hereby request that the Advisory Council recommend that the Governor General terminate Henry Morgantaler's appointment to the Order of Canada.
In accordance with the Paragraph 25(c) of the Constitution of the Order of Canada we hereby request that the Governor General make an Ordinance terminating this person's appointment to the Order. Under section: Policy and Procedure for Termination of Appointment to the Order of Canada, paragraph 3. (b) The Advisory Council shall consider the termination of a person's appointment to the Order of Canada if (b) the conduct of the person (i) constitutes a significant departure from generally-recognized standards of public behaviour which is seen to undermine the credibility, integrity or relevance of the Order, or detracts from the original grounds upon which the appointment was based; or (ii) has been subject to official sanction, such as a fine or a reprimand, by an adjudicating body, professional association or other organization.
Henry Morgantaler's conduct is unbecoming that of a Member of the Order of Canada and thereby tarnishes all recipients of this tremendous award.
For nineteen years, 1969 to 1988, Dr. Morgantaler's admittedly violated Canadian law. His conduct constituted a significant departure from generally recognized standards of public behaviour. According to numerous media reports in print, television and radio his appointment undermines the credibility, integrity and relevance of the Order.
In addition 1976, Dr. Morgantaler was sanctioned by the Disciplinary Committee of the Professional Corporation of Physicians of Quebec that suspended his medical license for one year. He was found guilty of "not holding a valid interview before an abortion, for failing almost completely to gather a case history of his client, for failing to perform the necessary pregnancy test or blood test, for not obtaining pathological examination of the 'tissues' removed and for failing to follow up the state of health of his patients afterward."
Also according to reports it appears that the Advisory Committee violated long standing protocol requiring unanimous consent approving a nominee by resorting to a mere majority vote. With such manipulation of the system we question if the Chair's well known "unwritten constitutional principles" subverted accepted procedure.
In an effort to protect the integrity of the hundreds of recipients of Canada's highest award we therefore respectfully ask the Governor General to terminate the appointment of Henry Morgantaler's appointment to the Order of Canada.
Sincerely yours,
Brian Rushfeldt,
Executive Director
Canadian Family Action Coalition

Forgiven and Set Free: A Post-Abortion Bible Study for Women
By Linda Cochrane
Forgiven and Set Free, an inspired Bible study that can be used by individual women or by a group, effectively ministers God's healing grace to women who are suffering remorse and guilt after an abortion. This study was developed out of Linda's Cochrane's experience of being freed from the bondage of guilt and grief that followed her abortion. "As I read my Bible, Christ was faithful to touch my open wounds with the touch of his promises," she writes. "He promised to turn all my wailing into dancing and he has." Forgiven and Set Free guides suffering and hurting women to bring their emotional scars from abortion "out of the dark past and into his holy light," where true and lasting healing can take place. Appropriate Scriptures help women deal with issues such as: Relief And Denial, Anger, Forgiveness, Depression, Letting Go, and Acceptance. |

ProLife Answers to ProChoice Arguments
By Randy Alcorn
Let's face it - when it comes to the issue of abortion we all either have questions or answers that we don't have any hard proof for. Sometimes we've heard something somewhere about an aspect of this issue and can't remember the specifics, to our frustration. Now, in a comprehensive and well-documented single volume, Randy Alcorn (Heaven) gives interested parties everything they need to make up their mind on this matter. Similar in style to Josh McDowell's landmark volume on the proof for the Christian faith (Evidence for Christianity), Alcorn takes on all aspects of the argument, from the humanity of the unborn to the social issues surrounding the conflict, even addressing the perceived character of pro-life individuals. Few books could match the scope and precision of this book while dealing compassionately with such a polarizing controversy.

What Happened to Christian Canada?
By Mark A. Noll
On September 15, 1959, Georges Vanier, Canada's Governor-General soon-to-be, began his acceptance speech with the following invocation: "Mr. Prime Minister, my first words are a prayer. May Almighty God in his infinite wisdom and mercy bless the sacred mission which has been entrusted to me by Her Majesty the Queen and help me to fulfill it in all humility. In exchange for his strength, I offer him my weakness." Fifty-six years later, on September 27, 2005, Michaelle Jean became Canada's 27th Governor-General. In her acceptance speech, by contrast, Jean referred to how Canadian history "speaks powerfully about the freedom to invent a new world," and made no reference to the deity. What happened to the Canadian religious conscience, as illustrated by the speeches of these two luminaries, in the approximately fifty years between then and now? Why might have church and synagogue attendance fallen from 67 percent after World War II to less than 20 percent in 2000? In What Happened to Christian Canada?, renowned church historian Mark Noll investigates these and other related questions, and makes timely observations about one of the more prominent sociological shifts in modern North American history. |
