EFC Election Kit 2008: Introduction

Canadians will go to the polls Tuesday, October 14, 2008. Once again, important issues are at stake in this federal election.

Canada needs strengthened families and secure marriages. Canada needs to protect its most vulnerable: children, the poor, the unborn and the disabled. Canada needs to share its blessings with the world, especially meeting commitments made to foreign relief and development work.

The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada has prepared a number of brief resources, including 10 fact sheets on current issues. Click the links at right to view each one.

Additional resources will be added as the EFC develops commentary on different issues as the Election progresses. You will want to check back periodically to find out what’s new.

  NEW:  Statement by EFC President Bruce J. Clemenger

  NEW:  Bulletin Insert About the EFC Election Kit

  NEW:  Ottawa Magazine Covers EFC Election Kit. Some of the language in Ottawa's "only independent news, music, art, culture magazine" wouldn't be heard in most churches, but reaching those under 30 in bars, coffee shops and local restaurants requires a distinctive approach. For those who dare, and who are prepared for the language, scroll down to page 12: http://www.upfrontottawa.com/currentissue.pdf

  NEW: For more links to media coverage about the EFC Election Kit, scroll through the EFC in the News page.
