Provided, however, that the foregoing objects shall be pursued subject to the Charitable Gifts Act and the Charity Accounting Act and that it shall not be lawful for the Corporation, directly or indirectly, to transact or undertake any business within the meaning of the Loan and Trust Corporation Act. And whereas we, the members of Bethesda Renewal Centre, Ottawa-Carleton, have committed ourselves to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, to each other as brothers and sisters in His Family, and to the work and ministries of Bethesda Renewal Centre. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
