Encounter World Religions on CBC News and CityTV

Brian Carwana, Director of the Encounter World Religions Centre (EWR), was interviewed by CBC News Network and CityTV Toronto following the death of Pope Francis. His insights affirmed EWR’s growing reputation as a Canadian voice on global religious issues.

Brian reflected on Pope Francis’ humility, his advocacy for the poor, and his groundbreaking outreach to other faiths. Brian highlighted the Pope’s historic visit to Canada, where Francis apologized to First Nations communities for the Catholic Church’s role in residential schools. This spirit of openness and dialogue, even on divisive issues, won the respect of many across faith boundaries.
