From sea to sea
At just over 150 years since confederation, Canada is changing fast and faces new spiritual challenges. Bible reading and Scripture engagement is declining at an alarming rate, with only 11% of Canadian Christians reading their Bible at least once a week*.
The share of people who report having no religion will continue to grow, to about a third of the population compared with 24% in 2011**. With the increase in immigration and minority religions in Canada, many first-generation Canadian children are not hearing the Gospel.
