TRADITION AND MEMORY IN PROTESTANT ONTARIO Anglican and Methodist Clerical Discourses During Queen Victoria's Golden 11887) and Diamond (1897) Jubilee CeIebrations B.A., University of Guelph, 1970 M.L.S., University of Western Ontario, 1977 Thesis Submitted to the Department of History in partial fulfhent of the requirements for the Master of Arts WiIfrid Laurier University 2000 AESTRACT This thesis examines the religious-patriotic discourse on Queen Victoria. the rnon- archy. and the British empire produced by the Anglican and Methodist clergy in Ontario during the celebrarions for the sovereign's Golden Jubilee in 1887 and the Dimond Jubilee in 1897. Loyalty to the queen and the rnonarchy was shaped by the interplay between the P~CPIVP~hn!ngiral, ecclesiastical, and hi~tnricaltraditions of each church. its collective mernories, adby the contexts which infiuenced the comrnemorations. The discursive representations of the queen, constitutional monarchy, and imperialism, embedded within the semons and patriotic literature of the two churches. differentiated into separate patterns of affirmation, in ~heprocess. appropriating sub-cultural, or vernacular, pasts which justified the conternporary identities of the churchos and their world in Iate Victorian Ontario. The Church of England in Canada, drawing upon an organic, unitive vision. which integrated Church, state, and society under the monarchy, maintained a conservative, rit times defensive, but reasonably stable message in its pronouncements of loyalty over the decade between 1887 and 1897. In the person of Queen Victoria, the Methodists consecrated the Wrsleyan theological heritage through a discourse of substirutionary piety. However. the Methodist narratives of imperial and social progress during the queen's reign began to invoke the nascent language of the social gospel, a differenr type of pietistic discoursa which altered the categories of traditional Wesleyan theology. Thus the Methodist loyalty sermons and articles reveal a bifurcation in the structures of collective idenrity . The representations of the qurrn anchored the past in the present, but the discourse of imperial and social progress indicates a gradua1 deconsecration of the Wesleyan heritage. implying a concomitant destabilization of identity in the Methodist Church in late nineteenth-century Ontario.

As rhii rhesis will cnntlm. a diqtingiiiching featiire in n toynlisr province such as Ontario one hundred years ago was the tacit concordat between the Protes- tant pulpit and the fundamental symbols of the political culture. Coupiing sacred and srcular discourses which attributed the triumphs of the Victorian age to the superiority of the British constitution, commentators easily conjoined the empire's grandeur to Queen Victoria, the cmblrm of the pure. honoured Iife, and the living icon of public and domestic virrue. In Ontario. this steadfast tldelity to the rnonarch hrid long ben nurtured in the annual observ- ances of the queen's binhday on the twenry-fourth of May. A rite of spring wiih mots in [lie military origins of Upper Canada. it began to rake shape in its modern form as a popular civic celebration with a half-holiday in Toronto in 1848.' Loyalty to the queen received its supremc expressions during the Golden and Diamond Iubilees of 1887 and 1897. respectively. Queen Victoria died on 22 January 1901. but affection for the sovereign was cemented in English Canada's public memory when the Dominion parliament, shonly before 24 May of the sarne year, proclaimed Victoria Day a national holiday.' Outline of the Topic and the Argument This thesis is a study of the religious-patriotic discourse on Queen Victoria produced by the Anglican and Methodist clergy in Ontario during the jubilee celebrations of 1887 and 1897. It argues that loyalty to the monarch and the crown was a construction of identity shaped by the interplay between two forces. On the one side were the collective memories, the received theoIogica1, ecclesiastical, and historical understandings of each church, and on the other, were the contexts which infiuenced the comrnemorations. The loyalty sermons and the patriotic belle-lettres published in the Ontario-based religious press of the Church of England and the Methodist Church of Canada welded the historically detemined self- deilnition and aims of each church to the sentiments demanded by these occasions. The rirual affirmations of the sovereign and the crown subtly validated the polity, theology, and pastoral rninkty of ench pup.justifying its niche in contemporary societv. The royal celebrations served as sites upon which were evoked both extrinsic memory (Aristorir's idea of manmesis), and intrinsic memory (Aristotle's concept of rrrnenre).' The themes of the queen's domestic virturs. her sterling cliaractrr as a constitutional ruler. and the growth of the empire migrated across religious borders. However, closer scrutiny reveals nuances.

  • Literature Review
    Badertscher, The Measure of a Bishop Literature Review The more I have researched the “Continuing Church,” the more I have realized that this thesis is charting largely unmarked territory. First-hand information on the movement is available in relatively great abundance from the various denominations themselves, but is often of uneven quality, and truly scholarly material is rare. In some cases, churches have put all their pamphlets, brochures, etc., onto their World Wide Web sites, but have not provided references such as author’s name and date of publication. Sadly, too, the electronic nature of the “Web” means that data found there is ephemeral; what is here today may be gone tomorrow, without a clue as to where to trace it. The relative emphasis given herein to certain denominations, such as the Anglican Orthodox Church, is due not merely to their importance to traditionalist Anglicanism, but because their diocesan offices have cooperated fully with my research. Newsletters, books from their denominational presses, brochures—all these they provided promptly and cheerfully. Some of the other traditionalist groups, however, never responded to my correspondence, even after a second attempt. It is unclear whether this was because they feared editorial bias, or simply that they lack regular secretarial assistance. Another major primary source is the pages of The Christian Challenge, a monthly periodical published since 1962 and devoted to chronicling Anglicanism around the world. Although it covers news both inside and outside the official Anglican Communion, the magazine’s editorial stance is very sympathetic to the traditionalists (a former editor, the late Louis E.

  • Chapter 6 the Irony of the Anglican Position Toward the Vagantes
    Badertscher, The Measure of a Bishop Chapter 6 The Irony of the Anglican Position toward the Vagantes The mainstream Anglican position toward the vagantes (and thus, to the Continuing Church) is ironic for three reasons. First of all, as we saw in the previous chapter, the English Reformers rejected the Roman concept of the “apostolic succession,” or “Historic Episcopate.” in the very early years of the Reformation. Secondly, the centuries have seen a vast improvement in official Anglican Communion relations with “schismatic” groups such as the Non-Jurors and the Methodists. And thirdly, the High Churchmen’s own claims to the “apostolic succession” are clouded in the eyes of Rome. Looking first at the Reformers’ doctrines of episcopacy, one must always remember that the crucial emphasis for men such as Cranmer and Latimer was the reliance on Scripture as the supreme authority for faith and practice. Tradition and reason may inform the Anglican's use of Scripture, but the Scripture itself is always the basis of faith.1 The English Reformers defended episcopacy as a legitimate form of church government, as even perhaps the best, but by no means did they consider it part of the Church’s very essence. Any sacerdotal concept of bishops, as needing to be in the tactual succession from the apostles, was repulsive to them. On the apostolic succession, the Reformer Bishop John Hooper wrote in 1550 that: As concerning the ministers of the Church, I believe that the Church is bound to no sort of people or any ordinary succession of bishops, but to the only Word of God.

M. NAIRN’S ‘DECORATIVE ART’ LECTURE OF 1890 3 SEARCH FOR BEAUTY ‘SOUTH OF THE LINE’: THE 81 ARTIST’S STUDIO AND THE ANTIPODEAN WOMAN CONCLUSION 103 List of Plates 108 Plates 110 Bibliography 142 Appendix J. M. Nairn’s ‘Decorative Art’ in Otago Witness (1890) 161 ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines aspects of Aestheticism in New Zealand. Despite the paucity of literature written on Aestheticism in colonial contexts, there is evidence that Aesthetic tendencies flourished in the art and literature of the ‘South Seas’. Aestheticism in Australia and New Zealand has been categorised as ‘insignificant’ within national art histories, overlooking the complex ways whereby aspects of Aestheticism arrived in the antipodes through international exhibitions, touring theatre productions, academically trained artists from Europe, and dispersal through literature. It is a moment in our national art history that should be recognised. My research is the first comprehensive study of Aestheticism and its impact on applied art and the general lifestyles of artists and patrons in New Zealand. With particular focus on James McLauchlan Nairn and Charles Frederick Goldie, this study revises the status of two New Zealand artists who have been viewed as representative of opposing artistic camps—Nairn, a bohemian promoting Impressionist and open air landscape practice, and Goldie, a painter of the ‘Old World’ tradition of academic instruction.
