Book Description
Excerpt from The Canadian Congregational, Vol. 35: Year Book, 1907-1908 This volume contains a year's record of things attempted and things done. As these are perused one is led to exclaim, What hath God wrought. Not one of these reports is in the minor key, there is a clear; ringing note of hopefulness and Victory. Our harps are not hung on the willows, but are in our hands, and we strike them to the praise of Him who always causeth us to triumph in Christ. Our churches to-day are in a position to go forward as never before, most of them being free of debt and therefore free to serve.

Light of Nature and the Law of God
Author: Allen P. Stouffer
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773563490
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Allen Stouffer's analysis of Ontario's response to the freedmen reveals a virulent strain of racism that helps to explain why British North Americans were slow to join their British and American counterparts in the North Atlantic antislavery triangle. After exploring the Canadian churches' mixed reaction to antislavery, he applies cliometrics to draw a socio-economic profile of Canadian antislavery's leaders and followers. Employing British, American, and Canadian primary sources, Stouffer has written this study the first book-length examination of Canadian antislavery from a British North American perspective. Earlier studies concluded that Canadian anti-slavery was largely the result of Canada's proximity to the United States, a proximity which precluded Canada's ignoring the situation. While Stouffer recognizes the importance of the American influence, he shows that the leaders of Canadian anti-slavery were immigrants from Britain who had been deeply involved in antislavery in their homeland.

The Free Church in Victorian Canada, 1844-1861
Author: Richard W. Vaudry
Publisher: Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press
ISBN: 088920571X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Drawing on a wide range of church records, pamphlets, private papers, and periodicals, Richard Vaudry has written an authoritative study of the formation and development of the Free Church in mid-Victorian Canada. He traces the institutional development of the denomination, its intellectual life, and its attitudes to contemporary political and social questions and describes, another subjects, missionary activity, theological education, worship, and the denomination's union with the United Presbyterian Synod in 1861. This important work depicts a progressive church where men such as George Brown, Isaac Buchanan, and John Redpath could all find a home. The author argues that undergirding the life of the Free Church was an evangelical-Calvinist world view which determined the shape and direction of its activities. His book illuminates an important facet of the religious and intellectual relationship between Scotland and Canada, and should be of interest to students and scholars of Canadian and Church history.

Singing the Congregation
Author: Monique M. Ingalls
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190499656
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Contemporary worship music shapes the way evangelical Christians understand worship itself. Author Monique M. Ingalls argues that participatory worship music performances have brought into being new religious social constellations, or "modes of congregating". Through exploration of five of these modes--concert, conference, church, public, and networked congregations--Singing the Congregation reinvigorates the analytic categories of "congregation" and "congregational music." Drawing from theoretical models in ethnomusicology and congregational studies, Singing the Congregation reconceives the congregation as a fluid, contingent social constellation that is actively performed into being through communal practice--in this case, the musically-structured participatory activity known as "worship." "Congregational music-making" is thereby recast as a practice capable of weaving together a religious community both inside and outside local institutional churches. Congregational music-making is not only a means of expressing local concerns and constituting the local religious community; it is also a powerful way to identify with far-flung individuals, institutions, and networks that comprise this global religious community. The interactions among the congregations reveal widespread conflicts over religious authority, carrying far-ranging implications for how evangelicals position themselves relative to other groups in North America and beyond.
