.- A
new Christian think tank on marriage and family has set up shop in
Canada’s capital with the hopes of impacting upcoming debates in the
House of Commons.
The Institute for Marriage and Family Canada (IMFC) is an outreach of Focus on the Family Canada, an Evangelical organization.
According to
IMFC executive director, the think tank is designed to provide
Parliamentarians, senators, political staff and other decision-makers
with the latest research on a number of issues, including marriage,
embryonic stem-cell research, euthanasia and other family-related
legislation.
Lobby groups and
educational institutions, based on Judeo-Christian principles, have
become more numerous and active in the nation’s capital recently,
reported the Ottawa Citizen.
Other
organizations include the National House of Prayer, which encourages
Christians from across the country to spend a week in the capital
praying for their political leaders, the Institute for Canadian Values
and Vote Marriage Canada.
