There is a free lunch
Another of the churches caught in the abuse controversy is the United Church of Canada. When it goes to court next month in another round of lawsuits, members of the church will be offering the plaintiffs tea, soup, and ham and cheese sandwiches. Susan Lindenberger, a Vancouver church member who is organizing the lunches, says it's a way "to make real the words we've offered in our apologies." The churches have apologized for the "pain and suffering that our Church's involvement in the Indian Residential School system has caused," but denies legal responsibility in the legal actions that threaten to bankrupt it.
