During his final remarks as Moderator of the 2008 General Assembly, Rev. Cheol Soon Park asked for special prayers for Canada’s oil industry.
“It’s a remarkable resource, and we need it,” he told commissioners and staff during the first session of the 2009 assembly. “Although a lot of money can be made by extracting oil quickly, we need to be responsible.

Park had just returned from a tour of Alberta’s Athabasca oil sands that allowed church and aboriginal leaders to meet with industry representatives, workers, government officials and aboriginal communities. The tour was sponsored by KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives.
