Canadian Creed: Manifesto for Multiculturalism

I believe in One God, colourless and colour blind
Creator and preserver of multicolour people, multitude of races
I believe in the Maker who provides abundant resources
Not for hoarding, nor for controlling, but for unbiased sharing

I believe in Jesus Christ, born of a common Asian woman
Bullied, ridiculed, marginalized by deprivation of a pulpit
Before realizing his potentials in a land of opportunity
Thus he was murdered and buried with African refugees
Asian immigrants, and the alienated Aboriginal folks
But his resurrected spirit storms through songs, stories of freedom
That emanate from the spirit of informed optimism, persistence

I believe in the Holy Spirit, remover and roller of every middle wall
I believe in the Human Spirit, creating humane, human community
Promoting cultures with numerous scents, savours, and surfaces
Battling to eradicate every obstacle that thwarts
That final recognition of One Human Community
