The moderator of the United Church of Canada: ‘a legend in her own lunchtime’

January 24, 2010 By admin

Michael Coren writes:

In a long piece describing her experience at the recent Copenhagen climate change conference, she wrote of her pain and anguish and how she now identified with Martin Luther King’s fight against racial hatred and William Wilberforce’s struggle against slavery. Both men risked death of course, but Mardi risks far more — feeling slightly sad next time she goes shopping.

Not many people attend the United Church these days as it’s the most rapidly declining denomination in North America, so Mardi then travelled to Ottawa — whoops, watch that carbon footprint —to deliver a letter to the prime minister, governor-general, various party leaders and, one assumes, Santa and the Easter Bunny — hey, no species discrimination in the United Church!
