Douglas Adams: Religion In Canada

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Dept: That's the phrase printed on the cover of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a guidebook to the galaxy from the novel of the same name by Douglas Adams. No matter what happens -- even if Earth is about to be destroyed by Vogons to make way for a new hyperspace freeway -- the Guide says: Don't panic!, according to Winnipeg Free Press. No matter if fewer people are attending worship services, if more people are declaring they belong to no faith group, or if membership in mainline Protestant groups is falling -- religion in Canada is not in danger of disappearing. "Don't panic!" "Don't panic!" isn't printed on the cover of Reginald Bibby's new e-book, A New Day: The Resilience and the Restructuring of Religion in Canada, but that's the basic message he wants to share with people of faith in this country.
