Who qualifies for charitable status? And how Canada's legal system can adapt that definition to keep pace with a changing society?

I think there are several things that comprise and move forward a modern framework.

One starts simply with an understanding and thinking of the relationship between government and the sector as a social contract.

I think a modernizing framework involves thinking about which kinds of organizations, which kinds of causes qualify as charitable, because being a charity comes with privileges, it brings legitimacies, and it signals what we value in society.

There are two ways to do that, fundamentally.

One is through legislation, which has a whole variety of Challenges can be undone and it's complicated.

I don't think we'll go there.

And it's time government began treating them as true partners in building the country's future.

Well, the first course I ever taught at Regent was in the 90s.

And it was back when I was teaching the ethics of care and working a lot with people in the helping professions, teachers, nurses, physicians, pastors.

And it just became so clear how core listening was in those helping professions.

In fact, caring practices, when they became sort of routinized and instrumentalized, but didn't have that more human connection component, their effect was eroded.

So I began to see how significant listening was and the care of souls.

And in terms of it being a call, a vocation, I see that pretty clearly in Scripture.

Are there things that we can be doing that help us sort of retrain our attention, you know, or kind of help just, yeah, retrain us, I guess, not sort of in an abstract sense, but sort of in the just lived reality of someone following or seeking to follow Christ? What are some things that help us be attentive?
