God has always used amazing creativity in His creation of human beings — creating us in different colours, sizes, personalities and abilities. Human diversity is a reflection of God’s joy. God wants us all to live in unity with Himself and with each other. As Christians there cannot be any room in our hearts for discrimination, whether based on gender, colour, ethnicity, language, ability or disability, sexual orientation, illness, age, economic status or any other factor.

The Salvation Army believes that all people are made in the image of God and are thus of equal intrinsic value. Below are some resources intended to help individuals, groups and congregations learn more about discrimination and how to conquer discriminatory attitudes and practices.

In Canada, as in many countries, Aboriginal or Indigenous people have faced discrimination and racism, which has contributed to oppression and many outstanding justice issues. The following resources are offered to create awareness about justice issues facing Aboriginal people and to help individuals, groups and congregations to act and pray in wise and compassionate ways.
