Ep. 310: Faith Perspectives in Politics

Canada’s political culture seems to be changing. Where it was once a place where all could freely express their faith, it is now becoming increasingly difficult to do so. What has changed about Canada’s political culture that is making it difficult for people of faith? This week we are joined by Bruce Clemenger, author and president of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, to walk us through his new book, The New Orthodoxy: Canada’s Emerging Civil Religion. Bruce gives us a brief overview of the history of Canada’s statecraft, and also expands upon the biases in our current government that result in challenges for religious people. Bruce closes out the conversation with an inspiring message in how we can remain hopeful amid a secular state.
