EFC (The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada) President Bruce J. Clemenger extended condolences upon the recent death of Elijah Harper. "Elijah Harper was a courageous man. While Mr. Harper is best known for defeating the Meech Lake Accord (1990), he was the driving force behind the Sacred Assembly held in 1995.

Having attended several residential schools and knowing first hand the need for healing between peoples among different heritages and experiences, he called upon aboriginal and non-aboriginal religious leaders together for an Assembly to hear one another and to establish the call for reconciliation and the principles that guide us.

The resulting statement of the Sacred Assembly affirmed that the "Creator God reigns supreme over all things," that "the starting point for healing and reconciliation lies in personal communion with the Creator God," and that "reconciliation between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians must be rooted in a spiritual understanding of land as a gift from the Creator God." My thoughts and prayers are extended to his family and community."
