"Ignite Our Culture conference will be an annual national event for the ECP Centre," said Rev. Emmanuel, the Centre's executive director. "It is our contention that the social trends and policies that negatively impact Canadian society have largely been advanced due to the lack of meaningful opposition from Christians. It is only because there have been no tangible and viable alternatives from Christians that militant secular humanism has filled the void. The ECP Centre's vision is to reverse this trend, with tangible, measurable and sustainable projects that encourage Christians to take up the role of cultural leadership - IGNITE OUR CULTURE conference is just one of those projects," said Rev. Emmanuel.
