The <strong>Canadian</strong> Council <strong>of</strong> <strong>Churches</strong><br />
The <strong>Canadian</strong> Council <strong>of</strong> <strong>Churches</strong> was organized<br />
in 1944. Its basic purpose is to provide the<br />
churches with an agency for conference <strong>and</strong> consultation<br />
<strong>and</strong> for such common planning <strong>and</strong><br />
common action as they desire to undertake. It<br />
encourages ecumenical underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> action<br />
throughout Canada through local councils <strong>of</strong><br />
churches. It also relates to the World Council <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Churches</strong> <strong>and</strong> other agencies serving the worldwide<br />
ecumenical movement.<br />
The Council has a Governing Board which<br />
meets semiannually <strong>and</strong> an Executive<br />
Committee. Program is administered through<br />
two commissions—Faith <strong>and</strong> Witness, Justice<br />
<strong>and</strong> Peace.<br />

<strong>Canadian</strong> Evangelical Theological<br />
Association<br />
In May 1990, about 60 scholars, pastors <strong>and</strong><br />
other interested persons met together in<br />
Toronto to form a new theological society.<br />
Arising out <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Canadian</strong> chapter <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Evangelical Theological Society, the new association<br />
established itself as a distinctly<br />
<strong>Canadian</strong> group with a new name. It sponsored<br />
its first conference as CETA in Kingston,<br />
Ontario, in May 1991.<br />
CETA provides a forum for scholarly contributions<br />
to the renewal <strong>of</strong> theology <strong>and</strong> church<br />
in Canada. CETA seeks to promote theological<br />
work which is loyal to Christ <strong>and</strong> his Gospel,<br />
faithful to the primacy <strong>and</strong> authority <strong>of</strong><br />
Scripture <strong>and</strong> responsive to the guiding force <strong>of</strong><br />
the historic creeds <strong>and</strong> Protestant confessions<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Christian Church. In its newsletters <strong>and</strong><br />
