JESUS FASCINATES US STILL
CROP poll results
A CROP poll, conducted in January, indicates that the person of Jesus remains rooted in the Quebec psyche, among people of all ages. But what do they know of Jesus? Few believe Jesus is the Son of God. Présence Magazine produced a report on the poll results, and the Centre culturel chrétien de Montréal will hold a French-language conference March 13 on the theme, Why Does Jesus Fascinate Us Still?
Read the article and poll results (in French).
