When considering the future, some denominational organizations are imagining how new congregations can be formed given the religious and cultural shifts taking place in Canada. By asking leaders focusing on this direction what actions they have taken, it is possible to identify some of the organizational developmental steps which move towards mobilizing new church development. This video, based on a report by Dr. James Watson at The Canadian Institute for Empirical Church Research, offers perspective from the experience of Canadian leaders to suggest important principles and practices which can offer ways forward.

Why is Canada known as a Dominion and not a Kingdom? Did the Social Gospel movement ruin Canadian Christianity? In this video, James Tyler Robertson briefly discusses such questions from the vantage point of Canadian Protestantism at the dawn of the twentieth century. In a time when the church was vital in forming the policies and ideas that would define the nation during that century, Dr. Robertson explores whether or not such concerns validate present-day claims that Canada has become too socialist for its own good.

This video, hosted by Dr. James Watson, offers an overview of the creativity of God in calling new congregations into being within Canada. Models, expressions of worship, and cultural implications for our multicultural society are described. Implications for all churches within Canada are explored from a pastoral and missional perspective.
