Augustin C. Bourdeau : Pioneer Seventh-Day Adventist Pastor in the Eastern Townships
|
| Abstract |
The Seventh-day Adventist church in Canada started in the mid-nineteenth century in the Eastern Townships, with its first congregation established in 1877 in South Stukely. Among the few pioneer pastors who helped in the formation of its first congregations stands Augustin C. Bourdeau (1834-1916). The author points out that while Bourdeau served intermittently as a minister in the Eastern Townships in the late 1850s and early 1860s, he began to work full time in the region in 1875. For the following eight years, Bourdeau’s work in the Townships laid the basis for a permanent Seventh-day Adventist presence in this area and succeeded in establishing a few more congregations including the South Stukely church and in forming the Quebec Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, their first conference in Canada. Although the pastor of a small and marginal Protestant denomination, Bourdeau’s work and activities help us nonetheless to ascertain some aspects of religious life in the Eastern Townships in the nineteenth century.
