Third Level Menu Clusters and Networks Resources for creating or joining a cluster or network. Getting Started with Clusters and Networks Definitions of clusters and networks and whom to contact for information. Disability and Inclusion We are committed to becoming an open, accessible, and barrier-free church, where there is full participation of people with disabilities. Gender, Sexuality, and Orientation We are committed to being a welcoming church that is opposed to discrimination against any person on any basis, including gender and gender identity. Indigenous Ministries Indigenous spirituality, leadership, and participation are vital to the life of the United Church. All My Relations The Indigenous contribution to the church is honoured by the Mohawk phrase “Akwe Nia'Tetewá:neren”—all my relations—on the crest. Indigenous Communities and Leadership Access support to develop property, engage youth, build leaders, and speak out for justice. Healing Fund The Healing Fund supports healing initiatives for survivors of the residential school system and its ongoing intergenerational impacts. Information on Residential School Claims Documents Information for survivors of the residential school system who filed an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) or Independent Assessment Process (IAP) claim. Calls to the Church The Calls to the Church emerged from a process of discernment by the Indigenous church. MMIWG Final Report and Calls for Justice Transformative legal and social changes are needed to resolve the crisis that has devastated Indigenous communities across the country. Intercultural Ministries The intercultural vision is about more than inclusion—it’s about a radical welcoming that calls all of us to change. Leadership from the Margins We are all challenged to change the ways our communities worship, live, and work together. Vision for Becoming an Intercultural Church When we affirm and welcome a variety of expressions of faith, it deepens our understanding of God and of each other. Ways of Becoming an Intercultural Church This is an exciting time of Spirit-led questioning, experimenting, and mutual learning. Ethnocultural Networks Networks connect people with similar passions across the church. Networks are based on interest, not geography, and provide opportunities for individuals and groups to connect around and collaborate on specific areas of ministry or mission. Biblical Background to Interculturalism Becoming an intercultural church moves us to the very beginning of our faith. Leadership Counts Knowing who our leaders are will help the church continue to live into its commitments to equity and diversity.
