Virtually every strand of church tradition which is woven into the historic fabric of the United Church had its beginnings in dissent which, in its time, was regarded, at least by some, in negative terms. It is within that tradition of faithful and responsible dissent that Community of Concern seeks to make a positive contribution to the life and well-being of the United Church of Canada
The purpose of Touchstone is to bring the United Church of Canada's heritage of theology and faith to bear on its own present life and witness, and to engage the issues of our day in the light of the biblical message and the Christian tradition.
