The Honourable James Moore
Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages
Dear Minister Moore,
I am shocked to hear about the explicit sexual content of the exhibition “Sex: A Tell All Exhibition” that is scheduled to open May 17 in the federally funded family environment of the Canada Science and Technology Museum.

Should the term “child pornography” in the Criminal Code be changed to “child sex abuse materials”? While there may be laudable principles for considering to do so, it would be a legal gamble – with children at risk – to amend the law. This gamble could very likely provide child abusers with a new legal defence when faced with charges related to child pornography. The EFC has a long history of public policy engagement on matters of child protection.

Heintz v Christian Horizons: Solomon would not approve
By Don Hutchinson
Excerpt …
I can’t make head or tail of the following article. The categories, distinctions and paradigms don’t seem to be coherent. When ecumenism goes too far, it is invariably based on incoherent notions. I can’t find a single philosophical strand that ties all the disparate thoughts in this article together. We shouldn’t be instinctively hostile to the idea of working together with others and building coalitions to achieve shared goals, but if one has to throw reason out the door in order to participate in a particular coalition, then the parties should re-think the merits of that approach.
