The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC) is a national parachurch association of over 140 affiliated church denominations, ministry organizations, educational institutions, and 1,000 local church congregations. All affiliated groups identify themselves as part of the evangelical movement in Canada. Evangelicalism, in a strictly lexical, but rarely used sense, refers to all things that are implied in belief that Jesus is the savior. ... The word evangelicalism usually refers to a conservative tendency in diverse branches of Protestantism, typified by an emphasis on evangelism, a personal experience of conversion, biblical inerrancy, biblically-oriented faith, and a belief in the relevance of Christian faith to cultural issues. ...
The EFC was founded in 1964 as a means promoting cooperative participation in the Canadian political and social arenas. The organization promotes public awareness of issues that are of concern to the evangelical community, and serves as a lobbying force to influence controversial legislation regarding issues such as religious freedoms, defining marriage, child pornography, and abortion/fetal rights. 1964 was a leap year starting on Wednesday (link will take you to calendar). ...
The EFC publishes Faith Today magazine, the major evangelical publication in Canada.
Same-sex marriage was legalized across Canada by the Civil Marriage Act enacted on July 20, 2005. ... Canada is one of only a few countries in the world with no laws limiting abortion. ...
Evangelical pastors and congregations across Canada will continue to celebrate marriage before God as the union of one man and one woman, and to provide premarital and marital counselling.
We are deeply concerned that in Canada, as has been the experience of other countries, treating marriage as simply a close personal relationship will result in the decline in rates of marriage, and more children will be raised without both a mother and a father.
The EvangelicalFellowship of Canada gathers Christians together to dialogue, to equip and to partner for greater effectiveness in ministry and public witness.
