Description
Summary:"From its first worship services on board English ships during the sixteenth century to the contentious toughmindedness of the early clergy to current debates about sexuality, Alan L. Hayes provides a comprehensive survey of the history of the Canadian Anglican Church. Unprecedented in the annals of Canadian religious history, it examines whether an Anglican identity emerged from within changing forms of doctrine, worship, ministry, and institutions." "With writing that conveys a strong sense of place and people, Hayes finds such an identity not in the relatively few agreements within Anglicanism but within the disagreements themselves. Including seldom seen historical documents, Anglicans in Canada is ideal for research and classroom use and as a resource for church groups."--Jacket.
