Title
Protestant Restructuring in the Canadian City: Church and Mission in the Industrial Working-Class District of Griffintown, Montreal
Abstract
A comparison of the strategies adopted by Anglicans and Presbyterians as they attempted to reorganize and improve their provision of church accommodation in the industrial working-class suburb of Griffintown between 1860 and the turn of the century. The author argues that Griffintown’s places of Protestant worship during this period not only reflected the transformation of class relations in Montreal that emerged with industrialization, but also created opportunities for the negotiation of these new relations within the religious sphere.
