**Faith Today** is a Canadian evangelical Christian magazine published by the [Evangelical Fellowship of Canada](/source/Evangelical_Fellowship_of_Canada) (EFC). Founded in 1983, it describes itself as a national hub for "Canada’s Christian conversation" and publishes feature journalism, commentary, and book reviews.[1][2] The magazine is distributed in print and digital formats and is carried by platforms such as [EBSCO](/source/EBSCO_Information_Services), Flipster and library magazine directories.[3][4][5]

## 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](/source/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](/source/Christian_media) history.[15]
