The fullest expression of the whig interpretation of western Canadian history is to be found in the works of George F.G. Stanley and W.L. Morton. In presenting a narrative reconstruction of the events surrounding Canada's annexation of Red River, these authors primarily attempt to justify Canadian policy as the extension of British civilization.

  • Joint Rosetown Parish Honours Three Milestones
    Saskatchewan anglican The newspaper of the Dioceses of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon and Qu’Appelle • A Section of the Anglican Journal • February 2020 Joint Rosetown parish honours three milestones By Rev. Lauren Miller ROSETOWN (Qu’A) — Three milestones were celebrated at St. Andrew’s- Trinity Anglican-Lutheran Church on Nov. 3, 2019. The congregation and visitors from the community celebrated the centennial of the present church building, the 110th anniversary of St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, and the 30th anniversary of the amalgamation of Trinity Lutheran Church and St. Andrew’s Anglican Church. Archdeacon Catherine Harper represented the Diocese of Qu’Appelle, bringing greetings from Bishop Rob Hardwick. The history of St. Andrew’s-Trinity Church blends two church histories into one. St. Andrew’s Anglican Church began as a mission as Anglican workers followed the railways out of Regina. The first services were held in Kings Hall in 1909. A mission house was purchased in 1912, followed by the building of the first church. In these early years there was a Sunday school, a ladies’ group, a choir, and a vestry to oversee the operation of the church. The first church building was destroyed by fire in December 1918. The congregation continued to worship as they planned to build a new church. This is the present day church on the corner of Third Avenue and Main Street. Rev. Lauren Miller (centre) celebrates the eucharist in St. Andrew’s-Trinity Church, the 100-year-old building The first service in this that houses the Anglican and Lutheran shared ministry in Rosetown.

  • The Anglican Clergy 1820-1826
    Program for the Red River Mission : The Anglican Clergy 1820-1826 by John E. FosTER * The arrival of Rev. John West in the Red River Settlement in 1820 marked the initial attempt to carry the message of Evangelical Anglicanism to the peoples of Rupert's Land. During the succeeding seven years West and his successors, Rev. David Jones and Rev. William Cockran, labored to establish a secure foundation for Anglican missionary enterprise among the different communities of the "British" half of the Settlement at the confluence of the Red and Assinihoine Rivers. Products of the British middle class and the Evangelical movement, these men sought to Christian­ ize and civilize the inhabitants - to create a society reflecting as accurately as possible British ideals. In the troubled years before 1827 this objective was expressed in the efforts of the missionaries to develop adequate m eans of persuasion. The inhabitants of the Settlement mirrored the region's history. Cast-offs from the fur trade mingled with the remnants of the Lord Selkirk's colonization efforts. In their individual communities Kildonan Scots, French Canadians and the Swiss and de Meurons farmed the land with varying degrees of success while retired officers and servants of the Hudson's Bay Company, with their mixed-blood families, either followed suit or turned to the buffalo hunt. The various communities were grouped loosely into two divisions by religion and language. To the north of the Assiniboine, down the Red River, lived those who were designated British and Protestant although the Cree language and paganism predominated. 1 To the south there was a similar situation although the designation was French and Catholic.

  • The Enneagram and Its Implications
    Organizational Perspectives on Stained Glass Ceilings for Female Bishops in the Anglican Communion: A Case Study of the Church of England Judy Rois University of Toronto and the Anglican Foundation of Canada Daphne Rixon Saint Mary’s University Alex Faseruk Memorial University of Newfoundland The purpose of this study is to document how glass ceilings, known in an ecclesiastical setting as stained glass ceilings, are being encountered by female clergy within the Anglican Communion. The study applies the stained glass ceiling approach developed by Cotter et al. (2001) to examine the organizational structures and ordination practices in not only the Anglican Communion but various other Christian denominations. The study provides an in depth examination of the history of female ordination within the Church of England through the application of managerial paradigms as the focal point of this research. INTRODUCTION In the article, “Women Bishops: Enough Waiting,” from the October 19, 2012 edition of Church Times, the Most Rev. Dr. Rowan Williams, then Archbishop of Canterbury, urged the Church of England in its upcoming General Synod scheduled for November 2012 to support legislation that would allow the English Church to ordain women as bishops (Williams, 2012). Williams had been concerned about the Church of England’s inability to pass resolutions that would allow these ordinations. As the spiritual head of the Anglican Communion of approximately 77 million people worldwide, Williams had witnessed the ordination of women to the sacred offices of bishop, priest and deacon in many parts of the communion. Ordinations allowed women in the church to overcome glass ceilings in certain ministries, but also led to controversy and divisiveness in other parts of the church, although the Anglican Communion has expended significant resources in both monetary terms and opportunity costs to deal with the ordination of women to sacred offices, specifically as female bishops.

PREFACE In this admirable book the Rev. Dr. Maclean has done a piece of work of far-reaching significance. The Doctor is well fitted by training, experience, knowledge and sym- pathy to do this work and has done it in a manner which fully vindicates his claim to all these qualifications. Our beloved Canada is just emerging into a vigorous consciousness of nationhood and is showing herself worthy of the best ideals in her conception of what the hig'hest nationality really involves. It is therefore of the utmost importance that the young of this young nation thrilled with a new sense of power, and conscious of a new place in the activities of the world, should understand thoroughly those factors and forces which have so strikingly combined to give us our present place of prominence.

  • Council of the North Prayer Cycle
    Council of the North Prayer Cycle The Council of the North began in 1970 when the National Executive Council of the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada appointed a taskforce to consider the challenges and opportunities for ministry in the northern parts of Canada. The following year this taskforce was replaced with the Primate’s Task- force on the Church in the North. In 1973 this taskforce became the Primate’s Council on the North. By 1976 this body had evolved into the present Council of the North. The Council of the North is made up of all bishops of the assisted diocese. They administer the General Synod’s grants for northern mission. The council meets twice a year to consider the needs of the mission and ministry of the Church in the north. It reports to both the Council of General Synod and to the meeting of The shaded area highlights the geography of the Council General Synod. of the North. 85% of the land. 15 % of the people.

    Purveyors of “religion, morality, and industry”: Race, Status, and the Roles of Missionary Wives in the Church Missionary Society’s North-West America Mission DEREK WHITEHOUSE-STRONG* The Church Missionary Society (CMS) and its missionaries held that, regardless of race, the wives of CMS agents could facilitate the Society’s work in the Canadian mission field. The Society also maintained, however, that the Native wives of CMS agents in Canada possessed advantages over their European-born counter- parts, including hardier physical constitutions and ties of kinship, culture, and language to local Aboriginal populations. Nevertheless, because prejudices and axioms rooted in racial assumptions governed the attitudes of European-born individuals towards those of Aboriginal ancestry, many contemporaries doubted the ability of Native women to overcome what were considered to be racially inherent weaknesses and to embrace and project the core essential values and ideals deemed necessary of middle-class missionary wives. La Church Missionary Society (CMS) est ses missionnaires jugeaient qu’inde´pen- damment de la race, les e´pouses des agents de la CMS pouvaient faciliter le travail de mission de la CMS au Canada. La CMS estimait e´galement que les femmes autochtones de ses agents au Canada posse´daient des atouts que n’avaient pas leurs homologues ne´es en Europe, dont leur physique plus robuste et leurs liens parentaux, culturels et linguistiques avec les populations autochtones. Quoiqu’il en soit, comme les pre´juge´s et les axiomes ancre´s dans les a` priori raciaux gouvernaient les attitudes des personnes ne´es en Europe envers la population d’ascendance autochtone, de nombreux contemporains doutaient de la capacite´ des femmes autochtones de pallier ce que d’aucuns qualifiaient de faiblesses * Derek Whitehouse-Strong received his PhD in History from the University of Manitoba (2004).
