“ I'm shaken at the moment.  A very good friend of mine from London was just attacked by his parents, his mother said she wished she aborted him and his father tried to strangle him, because he is gay.

Cain and Abel Stories in Jane and Finch

Written by Barry Rieder, Jane Finch Community Minister

Just before Easter in 2007, a young man by the name of Allen Benn was stabbed to death in Firgrove. At first we thought it was gang related but later found out that it was more of a Cain and Abel story.

How Safe Are Queer Teachers in our Schools

Why is this under parenting – let’s face it – if Queer teachers don’t feel safe and are bullied on a daily bases from their peers and employers, how do we expect our children and youth to feel “safe”?

After discussion with some teachers in Ontario I have become aware how much work there is to be done for those who we entrust our children to.  Queer teachers are trying to find ways to stay in the closet rather than coming out.  What kind of message are these folks sending to the children/youth that they teach?

particularly his observation that paid youth ministry is feeling the budget squeeze.  Are there congregations with a thriving local youth ministry run by volunteers?
