Tom Wegner, Founder and Chairman of the global Abrahamic Movement, has announced the launch of a new chapter in Canada, appointing Ahmad Marouf as its Founder. Wegner called the move “a historic milestone” for the organization, framing Canada’s reputation for multiculturalism and diversity as fitting ground for the movement’s mission of interfaith cooperation.

Who Is Ahmad Marouf

According to Wegner’s announcement, Marouf brings more than 25 years of international business, media, and community leadership experience spanning tourism, luxury retail, public relations, and technology. He is Founder and CEO of Frenzone.

Born in Syria to an Alawite father and a Romanian Christian mother, Marouf’s own upbringing spans two faiths and cultures — a background Wegner cited directly as embodying the movement’s values of dialogue, tolerance, and mutual respect.

Three Pillars for the New Chapter

Building Bridges

Across diverse faiths, cultures, and background communities

Fostering Dialogue

Replacing division with deep, constructive understanding

Promoting Prosperity

Through shared values, innovation, and unity

Marouf Responds: “I Accept This Responsibility With Humility”

Marouf responded publicly to the appointment, thanking Wegner for his trust and pledging to build a Canadian chapter rooted in peace, dialogue, mutual respect, and cooperation among people of all faiths and backgrounds.

“I accept this responsibility with humility and determination, and I am committed to building a strong Canadian chapter that promotes peace, dialogue, mutual respect, and cooperation among people of all faiths and backgrounds.” Ahmad Marouf, Founder, The Abrahamic Movement Canada

A Growing Global Footprint

The Canadian chapter’s launch marks the movement’s expansion into North America, adding to a growing list of national chapters Faith & Freedom News has tracked across the Middle East and Africa — including Gaza, Nigeria, and Somaliland — each led by figures whose personal or professional backgrounds bridge the faiths and communities the movement seeks to unite.

Faith & Freedom News will continue to follow the Abrahamic Movement’s global expansion and Ahmad Marouf’s work building the Canadian chapter.
