Title |
Practising Medicine and Spiritualism in the 1860s: Sacred Encounters of Drs. Moses Colby and Susan Kilborn As Lived Religion
|
Abstract |
An examination of the unconventional collaboration of Dr. Susan Kilborn (1815-1868) with her late mentor, Dr. Moses French Colby (1795-1863) of Stanstead Plain, in the Eastern Townships, through a spiritualist medium. The author examines this unconventional collaboration between Kilborn and Colby, and reveals how sacred presence could be experienced in mind and body by scientifically trained Protestants. The author argues that in its strangeness, but also in its ordinariness as lived experience, this case study of the collaboration between Kilborn and Colby offers both a problem and an opportunity in the ongoing quest to rethink religious history in Canada.
