Description:By Grace Co-Workers traces the history of the Anglican Church in what is now the diocese of Toronto, and discusses many of the people who helped to shape it. At first , after the American Revolution, the Church felt called to serve the political interests of the Crown as well as the spiritual interests of the pioneers. But by the 1850s it had lost its official privileges and most of its financial endowment, and was forced to re-define its mission and its relationship to society. Skirmishes, sometimes bitter, developed between laity and clergy, evangelicals and Anglo-Catholics, authoritarians and democrats, traditionalists and modernists – local battles in widespread wars. In the 20th century secularization and industrialization helped provoke the golden age of the Anglican social conscience (1914-1939), and the dramatic expansion of Toronto led to a massive program of Church extension (1945-1962). Since then the diocese has undertaken controversial changes in its theology of baptism and Christian education, the discipline of its clergy, its liturgy, its episcopal structures, its approach to women and minorities, and lay ministry.The authors are seven professional Church historians, a former bishop of Toronto, and the diocesan archivist. Included are numerous photographs and illustrations, statistical tables and graphs, and an annotated list of every parish that ever existed in the diocese.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
