I was at a banquet recently with Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and who knows who else to celebrate the role that faith has and is playing in Canadian society. I introduced myself to my tablemates as a Christian. Speakers made reference to how well we all co-exist, but a fellow at my table who is a very liberal Christian made the bald statement that “evangelicals are evil.” I was absolutely stunned! First that he would even say that aloud, especially at such an event. And secondly, that he was so absolutely sure of himself! That is the third time I’ve experienced something like this at a dinner meeting (the other two times involved secular liberals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current-day contribution made by Evangelicals<\/strong> to Canadian society seems completely overlooked by the secular public. This is a brief post simply to show a side of evangelicals that the public doesn’t seem to be aware of. I’ll focus on just two contributions that relate to good citizenship. It would be nice if the non-religious could emulate these evangelical characteristics because then society would really have the means to make some great progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evangelicals demonstrate the best civic spirit<\/strong> in Canada<\/strong> in terms of supporting the welfare of others and demonstrating compassion through personal involvement. The evidence is overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
