Title |
The Quebec Protestant Churches and the Question of Nationalism
|
Abstract |
An examination of the United Church of Canada in the 1980s and its reaction to Quebec nationalism. The United Church was founded in 1925 with the merger of Methodists, Congregationalists and Presbyterians churches. In Quebec, the United Church, in the 1980s, had the second most adherents of all churches. The members of the church were predominately Anglophones. The author argues that the United Church leaders were open to Quebec nationalism, as part of the church's theological reflections on the "nation", the "poor", and "liberation". However the majority of the church's Quebec members continued to identify more with the Anglophone community in general and the "Canadian" and "internationalists" moral values which presided over the founding of the church, rather than with national self-determination as espoused by Quebec nationalists.
