Renate Pratt's new book, \u003ci\u003eIn Good Faith\u003c\/i\u003e, explains why the Christian churches were among the first to publicly protest, and why they provided such cogent and determined international support for the struggle against apartheid. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The Taskforce on the Churches and Corporate Responsibility is a coalition of Christian churches that for nearly twenty years was one of Canada's leading anti-apartheid advocates. As the first co-ordinator of this Taskforce, Renate Pratt was at the centre of the early anti-apartheid initiatives in Canada and consequently is able to supply a clear and accurate view. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The book traces the history of exchanges between the Taskforce and successive ministers and senior civil servants of the Department of External Affairs. It details the reluctant and weak responses offered by the Canadian government and business community right up to the time of Nelson Mandela's release from prison. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eIn Good Faith\u003c\/i\u003e will be of particular interest to Canadian Christians concerned with ecumenical co-operation and with the social and political dimensions of their faith. Equally, it will appeal to those interested in the impact of public interest organizations on public policy or the relationship between politics and business interests. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Renate Pratt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 088920280X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780889202801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.78d","brand":"Renate Pratt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48013827997951,"sku":"9780889202801","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5316d1b7-21e1-4f67-a1d4-8ddf901c834c.jpg?v=1767745016","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-good-faith-renate-pratt-9780889202801","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
