Like the rest of the
world, Canadian society stands in urgent need of moral transformation. Such
transformation, as amply evidenced by decades of contentious history, cannot be
achieved through political passion, the conflict of vested interests, or
technical recipes. What is called for is a spiritual revival, as a prerequisite
to the successful application of political, economic and technological
instruments. But there is a need for a catalyst. Be assured that, in spite of
your small numbers, you are the channels through which such a catalyst can be
provided.
