Canada’s C9 Bill – Is God’s Truth Being Outlawed?

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of Canada's Bill C9 on religious freedom and missions with guest John Taylor.

Did Canada just pass a bill that outlaws particular Bible teaching? This episode of The Missions Show explores the implications of Canada’s Bill C9 (the “Combating Hate Act”) and its potential impact on religious freedom, gospel proclamation, and missions. Guest John Taylor, ABWE missionary in Canada, explains that while the bill aims to curb violence and protect marginalized communities, its vague definition of “hate” and removal of key legal protections for religious expression raise serious concerns.
