Local Canadians Participate in Adventist World Session

Toronto, Canada, 02.07.2000/ANN/APD  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 an Adventist  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.
