TUXIS Parliament of Alberta
The TUXIS Parliament of Alberta (“TUXIS”) is one of a number of provincial model youth parliaments that has its origins in the "boys work" movement of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. TUXIS originally met under the name “Alberta Older Boy's Parliament”. The Alberta Older Boy's Parliament added “TUXIS” to its name in 1932. “TUXIS” stands for “you (‘U’) and ‘I’ training and service with Christ (represented with an ‘X’ for the Greek letter 'chi') in the centre.” An alternative interpretation is "Training Under Christ In Service." It is the last of these youth parliaments to retain its “TUXIS” appellation and maintain its Christian character;〔http://www.revparl.ca/english/issue.asp?param=104&art=519〕 however, its membership is not restricted on the basis of religion.
==Overview==
The central focus of the organization is its parliamentary program. The main parliamentary session occurs during the last week of December, which determines the annual agenda of events. This includes five conferences, usually held in February, March, May, September and November and up to two "Front Bench Retreats". These conferences help plan the upcoming session and have other activities meeting the objectives of the organization.
The parliament's goals have evolved from the TUXIS "four-fold" program to develop the mental, physical, social and spiritual well-being of its members and all youth. TUXIS is a non-denominational Christian youth Parliament which recently reaffirmed its non-exclusionary Christian foundation; an ongoing issue within the parliament is the place of religion within it. TUXIS believes that exposure to different points of view encourages tolerance of varying interpretations of Christianity, faith, and spirituality, as well as the views of non-Christians. Each session has a theme developed by the "Ministry of Devotions." Although theme discussions centre on issues of Christian living important to youth, being Christian is not a pre-requisite to attending a session or conference of the Parliament; the Parliament is non-exclusionary and invites all Alberta youth to attend.
