Brian Stewart was for decades one of Canada’s most prominent television journalists and was acclaimed for his foreign coverage for both CBC’s The National and The Journal. Born in Montréal, and originally a newspaper reporter, Stewart went on to become foreign correspondent for CBC in London and NBC in Germany.  He worked in ten war zones, covered numerous natural catastrophes, and was one of the first reporters to break the news about the giant Ethiopia famine in 1984. Of his time as a reporter, he was surprised to see how relevant religion was for his journalism. "Like many reporters at that time, I had come to believe that religion was an outmoded and spent force. But I came to see that religion was an often-overlooked part of humanitarian struggles to save millions in need and to protect the oppressed.”
