[Stan] Fowler [, New Testament professor and academic dean at Heritage Seminary], credits Brian Stiller, president of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada from 1983 to 1997, for much of Canadian evangelicals\u2019 willingness to engage the broader society.<\/p>\n
Stiller brought together the realms of evangelism and social concerns, Fowler said. He also expanded the fellowship\u2019s reach by regularly expressing a variety of evangelicals\u2019 concerns to politicians.<\/p>\n
In 2005, the fellowship launched a nation-wide program inviting evangelical congregations to perform charitable acts within their communities.<\/p>\n
It was a campaign that directly inspired the creation of Love K-W.<\/p>\n
In Cambridge four years ago, Forward Baptist Church launched a program dubbed \u201cLove Cambridge.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
The program was partly designed to \u201cbless\u201d\u009d the community, said Jennifer Pent, a staff member at the church.<\/p>\n
