| Title |
Revivalism Rejected: Protestantism in Sherbrooke During the First Half of the Nineteenth Century
|
| Abstract |
The author notes that after the War of 1812, and continuing beyond the mid-century mark, British missionary societies made a concerted effort in the largely American-settled Eastern Townships. As a result, he explains, the Church of England emerged as the region’s largest, and the more radical American sects failed to gain a strong foothold there. This development was particularly marked in the town of Sherbrooke despite problems with the early Anglican appointees. The American-born entrepreneurial elite’s affiliation with the Congregationalist Church, and the rapid expansion of the Catholic Church in the 1840s, only strengthened the conservativism of the region’s growing political and economic centre.
