A few months ago, at ACROSS•THE least between two prominent groups, this friendship became even obvious. Evangelical Christians and Conservative Roman Catholics in the United States are discovering that they have much in common. This coalition of "unprecedented proportions" was announced with very little fanfare or recognition in the media outlets.

In fact, one of its authors says that "the appropriate parties at the Holy See gave the effort their strongest encouragement." The essence of this startling ecumenical document which was described by Christianity Today as "unprecedented" and "historic" is a call for Roman Catholics and Protestants to put aside their "deep and long-standing differences" and unite on common beliefs as they pursue a common moral and social agenda. What is this agenda? The protection of the unborn, dramatically reducing the incidence of abortion, resisting proposals for euthanasia and population control, resisting special status for practicing homosexuals, providing for parental choice in education, and stopping the spread of pornography in society, not to mention issues such as a dedication to honesty, fairness, sexual purity and

S A RESULT of legislation passed by the Legislative A Assembly of Alberta in November of this year, donations to Canadian Union College (processed through the Crown Foundation) are now eligible for special tax treatment.

As a constituency we need to thank Gerald Chipeur for the hours of work and for his dedicated interest in facilitating Bill 44 through to its completion.

It should be understood that even though Canadian Union College has as of November 10 Crown status (and all donations to this Crown Foundation from this date forward are valid), there will be some logistics to care for in setting up the foundation. This will be the effort of the Alberta Government. When the foundation has been set up, donations will be made to the foundation which will be cared for by a board of trustees. The trustees will be responsible for forwarding the donations to Canadian Union College. The trustees will receipt the donation as from the Crown Foundation. More information such as payable to whom, address and other stipulations that are relevant to the donor will be forthcoming as we receive the information.

Let us praise the Lord for opening the way to bless even further this institution of learning through those who are willing to give.

MESSENGER/DECEMBER 1994 15 ALBERTA 150 Years—Waiting, Watching and Working Calgary Baptisms Hervert Sanchez was baptized into Jesus by Kuen-Taik Lee, pastor of the Calgary Korean Seventh-day Adventist Church. Hervert is originally from El Salvador and has lived in Canada for three and a half years. While attending an English Language School, he met Anne Kim, a Seventh-day Adventist from Korea, and also attending the English language school. She invited him to study the Bible with her pastor, which led to Hervert's baptism. Hervert has joined the Calgary Central Church. Joanna Jacobson and Joseph Walls also were baptized at Calgary Central Church. After being away from the Seventh-day Adventist Church for many years, Joanna has returned to the church she once loved. During her teen years Joanna at- tended New Westminster Academy in British Columbia, and Auburn Academy in Washington.
