This is The Confederation Report, a weekly analysis of Canadian news and culture from a Biblical worldview.

Excerpt: Canada’s pagan resurgence cannot be dismissed as mere immigration, for beneath the surface lies the deeper task before the church—to proclaim Christ’s lordship over all of life, remain faithful in our small corners, and recover a distinctly Scriptural vision of reality against every form of Oneism.

Opening Words (00:00-00:36)

Part I: Let's Set the Matter Straight (00:36–06:29)
Some argue that Canada is not experiencing a pagan resurgence, but simply the inevitable consequence of mass immigration; yet even if that were true, it does not refute the reality that paganism is on the rise, nor does it excuse the church from its mission to proclaim Christ’s lordship over all of life.

Part II: Be Encouraged (06:29–09:07)
Do not be discouraged, for though we sow in hard soil, Christ—our Dominion King—has already secured the victory, and our task is simply to be faithful in our little corner of the world.

Part III: Revisiting Paganism (09:07–13:00)
Every worldview apart from biblical Christianity is Oneist—collapsing the Creator–creation distinction into sameness—whereas Christianity alone is Twoist, upholding that fundamental truth without which meaning, truth, and life cannot exist.

Did You Know? (13:00–13:53)
In August 1814, British troops set Washington ablaze in retaliation for the burning of York and Niagara, sending President Madison fleeing, Dolley rescuing a portrait of Washington, and leaving the young republic humiliated in one of the War of 1812’s most dramatic moments.

Recommended Resource (13:53–15:38)
This week’s recommended resource is Discovering Dooyeweerd, edited by Danie F. M. Strauss and published by Paideia Press.

Closing Words (15:38–16:19)
