- God is our refuge: Security in an insecure world (2003)
Part I of the report of the International Affairs Committee to the
129th General Assembly, Acts & Proceedings, 2003, pp. 297-309.
"The first section of the report, 'God is our Refuge: Security in an Insecure World'
is new this year and was suggested by the more stringent security measures introduced as
part of the effort to combat terrorist activity. This section presents two major concepts
of security: state security and human security. It also examines three issues critical to
the security of developing nations: environmental degradation, international trade and
development assistance, and the HIV/AIDS epidemic. A report from the Commission on
International Affairs in the Church of Norway Council on Ecumenical and International
Relations (KISP), suggests that vulnerability is a given, and a positive given, of human
experience, essential to our humanity. This concept is explored along with the biblical
testimony to the security which is found only through trust in God as our refuge."

- Reconciliation and Hope in a Multi-faith World (2003)
Part II of the report of the International Affairs Committee to the
129th General Assembly, Acts & Proceedings, 2003, pp. 309-322.
"The second section, 'Reconciliation and Hope in a Multi-faith World' was suggested
by the increased attention on Islam in the wake of the events of September 11, 2001. This
is a revision of the report which was referred back to the committee by the 128th General
Assembly. (A&P 2002, p. 266-75, 15) This report reviews the important Islamic concepts
of monotheism and jihad, and the historical interactions between Christian and Muslim
nations. As is noted in the report, this document does not focus on the comparative truth
or untruth of these faiths. Rather, the intention is to look at the context which has
shaped past and present relations between Christians and Muslims and the possibilities for
constructive interaction and cooperation between Christians and Muslims in Canada and
beyond our borders." [from the introduction to the report]
