The Spectrum of Spirituality in Canada: A Symposium of Christian Leaders (Past Event)

Quick Summary

Cardus with the Canadian Bible Society presents a one-day symposium to discuss new data regarding the spiritual lives and journeys of Canadians. The symposium will take place at the Cardus office in Ottawa immediately following the National Prayer Breakfast. Logistics require a limited in-person attendance, which is why we're live-streaming this event for a broader audience to observe. We'd love your attendance on this virtual live-stream!

Details

The material we'll be discussing comes from nine waves of polling that Cardus has conducted with the Angus Reid Institute since 2017 as well as some new not-yet-released 2022 data on Canadians' journeys of faith.

As you can see from the agenda below, we're hoping to hear the perspectives of faith leaders regarding the various dimensions of this data.
