In Conor’s last year of study as an English major at Tyndale, he was inspired to launch his own magazine that would explore art, beauty and culture through strong Christian voices.

“The beginning of Ekstasis magazine was inspired by my undergraduate studies, social enthusiasm and burgeoning ambition,” said Conor. “In those first months of planning out the magazine, I wanted to create something remarkable and unique, while at the same time achieving my childhood dream of having my work published.”

Conor continued his studies with an MA in English from York University in 2018, and he worked as Editor of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada’s Love is Moving magazine. In 2021, Ekstasis was acquired by Christianity Today.

“We hope that Ekstasis will be a kind of digital cathedral, a sanctuary from the noise and the clamour, a sacred space where beauty can capture our attention and lift it up toward our Creator, “he said.
