Who are we?
A fellowship of churches which confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures and, therefore, seek to fulfill together their common calling to the glory of one God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Serving the four Atlantic Provinces of Canada.
We have come together,
Because we believe in God.
We intend to stay together,
In the name of Jesus Christ.
We will strive to grow together,
At the calling of the Holy Spirit.
Let us now find in each place
The things we can do together, to praise God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
(From 25th anniversary WCC order of service, August 1973.)

ATLANTIC ECUMENICAL
COUNCIL
Begun March 10,2007
Atlantic Ecumenical Council
February, 2010
To Whom It May Concern:
On behalf of the Atlantic Ecumenical Council of Churches I wish to express my disappointment over the very abrupt and disturbing news with regards to cutting the funding to Kairos.
As a Council that focuses on sharing resources, encouraging one another in the Christian faith and practice, and simply appreciating the strength of the church worldwide, our shock was deep.
As Christians, we hold deeply to the words found in Micah 6:8, which state:
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
It is our prayer that consideration will be given to reinstating this funding, which has been used to ‘act justly and show mercy’ around the world.
It would also be helpful if an in-depth explanation for this unexpected action was forthcoming.
Sincerely,
Rev. Marlene Knowles (President)
