Abstract
This purpose of this research paper is to gain and give insight on the subject of faith and its individual origins. The use of Canadian and International sources will provide answers to many of the questions relating to the origin of inner-faith. This topic has not been explored deeply in the modern times and due to its diverse and multi-religion standing. Through this paper I intend to find creditable answers to later help build my own research project on this topic.
I intend to review information relating to; Development of Faith, the role of the family in the faith development and why faith is often hidden and different from the religion followed.
Keywords: Family, Faith, Roles, Development.
