The United Church of Canada
Author: Don Schweitzer
Publisher: Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press
ISBN: 1554583764
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
From its inception in the early 1900s, The United Church of Canada set out to become the national church of Canada. This book recounts and analyzes the history of the church of Canada’s largest Protestant denomination and its engagement with issues of social and private morality, evangelistic campaigns, and its response to the restructuring of religion in the 1960s. A chronological history is followed by chapters on the United Church’s worship, theology, understanding of ministry, relationships with the Canadian Jewish community, Israel, and Palestinians, changing mission goals in relation to First Nations peoples, and changing social imaginary. The result is an original, accessible, and engaging account of The United Church of Canada’s pilgrimage that will be useful for students, historians, and general readers. From this account there emerges a complex portrait of the United Church as a distinctly Canadian Protestant church shaped by both its Christian faith and its engagement with the changing society of which it is a part.

Challenge and Change
Author: Allen Hern
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1039137857
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
A naïve teenager in Northern Ontario, A United Church minister, A resident in a Catholic Convent, A teacher in the Government High School in Nassau, the Bahamas, A world traveler. What do these have in common? They are various phases in the life of Reba Ethel Hern, the second woman ordained into the ministry of the United Church of Canada in 1937. A fascinating woman whose story has been waiting to be told. Challenge and Change: The Travails and Joys of a Complex Woman is a celebration and exploration of the life of Reba Hern—the second woman in all of Canada to be ordained into the United Church ministry, a strong, independent woman who stepped outside the box, breaking ground for others through a wide variety of experiences and numerous major world events—a woman ahead of her time. After thirteen years of ministry, Reba burned out and entered a Catholic Convent for five years, following which, this native of Sault Ste Marie, ON, travelled to Nassau, Bahamas where she spent the next sixteen years teaching Religious Knowledge and English in the Government High School. During that time, Reba was on hand for the birth of a black government and for the Independence of the Bahamas from British Colonial rule. From this position, she began to travel the world, a recreation she continued after retiring to Tsawwassen, BC, in 1974. Challenge and Change illustrates the degree to which opportunities for women have progressed since WW II and investigates these questions: How did women secure the right to become ministers in a profession which had traditionally been male dominated? What was it like for a white woman to live and teach black students in a predominately black culture? What was the country of the Bahamas like? How did the Bahamas achieve its independence? What is it like to travel in countries in which English is a secondary language or where bathroom facilities consist of a hole in the floor?
