The end of the “freedom convoy” in Ottawa has already led to much soul searching — how could it have happened?
One of the topics certain to be discussed is the role that the Christian faith played in the protest.
There were a lot of Christians up in Ottawa — you could see it in protest signs and hear it in media interviews. There were numerous accounts of prayer services and Christian preachers addressing the crowd and an American Christian crowdfunding website helped funnel money to the cause.
As a CBC report concluded: “Christian faith — with an overtly evangelical feel — flows like an undercurrent through the freedom convoy in Ottawa.”
