Different Visions: The Multiplication of Protestant Missions to French-Canadian Roman Catholics, 1834-1855
Abstract
The French Canadian Missionary Society, a multi-denominational evangelical organization, was established in 1839 in Montreal by Anglo-Protestant Quebecers. The society was opposed by George Jehoshaphat Mountain, Anglican Bishop of Quebec, who regarded it as an organization of zealots that would retard rather than advance the Protestant cause. Mountain supported a moderate approach, promoting efforts to develop literacy and educational programs among French Canadians, but avoiding confrontations with Catholics over religious issues. The Church of England supported Mountain's methods.
