Local Canadians Participate in GC Session

July 1, 2000

Local Canadians are crowding into the Toronto SkyDome along with delegates and visitors from around the world. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many Canadians to attend a General Conference World Session in their own country.

“It’s fantastic,” said Matthew, one such visitor from Canada. “The weather is nice, and the Session is very informative. There is a good social atmosphere, and the spirituality is exceptional.”

Another Canadian visitor, Anthony, was also enjoying his visit.

“I’m going to be a pastor one day,” he said. “I want to see how the Church works at the higher levels and meet new friends. It’s great that we can have something like this. It’s good to lift up God together, meet new friends, and communicate with each other.”

Not only are local Canadians attending the Session, but many are participating in the program itself. A mass choir from Canada was one of the featured musical presentations during the main church service today–a service attended by over 50,000 people.
