1986

"Religion in the Twenty-First Century: The Canadian Case." Presented at the Biennial Conference of The Australian & New Zealand Canadian Studies Association, Brisbane, Australia, May, 1986.

How well was Reginald Bibby able to anticipate
some of today's emerging religious developments
three decades ago? See for yourself.

 
"Toward Dignifying Diversity." Pre-publication version,
Globe and Mail, October 9, 1991.

1991

In 1991 the country was in the midst of a tenacious debate about unity, with multiculturalism being seen as both a minus and a plus in bringing the country together. This critique in the Globe and Mail echoed Bibby's thinking in his 1990 best-selling book, Mosaic Madness: Pluralism Without a Cause.
