What does the Bible have to say to the issues that face Canada? How can Canadian Christians engage with the principles of Scripture to speak compassionately and effectively into our country’s public life?
In the six-session Faith Matters video series filmed in Ottawa, leaders from The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada introduce six major areas for biblical engagement and explore how Christians can act justly and walk humbly with our neighbours and fellow citizens.
These videos are helpful and inspiring for individual viewing and group settings. Come back to this webpage soon, as it won't be long before we add additional videos.
The full playlist of six videos is best viewed on our Vimeo channel. You can also watch them on our YouTube channel.
