Background
Throughout its history, Faith Today has experienced several editorial shifts. In the 1980s, Brian Stiller, then EFC president, served for many years as editor-in-chief. He described the magazine as “the evangelical Maclean’s” due to its national scope and focus on leadership issues.[6] In 1999, managing editor Marianne Meed Ward resigned following proposed changes to the magazine’s mission and editorial guidelines, which she argued conflicted with journalistic standards of presenting opposing viewpoints.[7] In 2000, journalist Gail Reid was appointed editor as part of her role as EFC communications director.[8]
Faith Today has also been cited in scholarship on Canadian evangelicalism, civil religion, and public theology.[9][10][11]
Distribution
Digital and print editions are available through the EFC and affiliated retailers.[12] An archive of selected past issues is also hosted by Christian nonprofit partners such as Compassion Canada.[13] Faith Today has been cited in Canadian religious media discussions about Christian journalism and media trustworthiness.[14] Broadview magazine has referenced Faith Today in its retrospective reporting on Canadian Christian media history.[15]
