Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Centenary: Addresses and Sermons The preliminaries of this Celebration were early in hand. It was in the Synod of the Parent Diocese, held in June, 1916, that the movement was inaugurated. Two months later the Provincial Synod assembled in the City of Edmonton, endorsed the project and asked the Bishops to appoint committees to represent their respective Dioceses in regard to the matter. Their Lordships complied with the request and the groups selected by them were called together for the first time in joint session at Bishop´s Court, Winnipeg, in the spring of 1918. The outcome of this conference was the appointment of a Central Executive to act on behalf of the Province as a whole in determining the character of the Celebration and making arrangements for it. For reasons of economy and convenience the personnel of this Executive was drawn from the churches of the metropolitan city, Winnipeg, but the movement never lost its Provincial scope and was loyally and ably supported throughout by most of the Dioceses comprising the Ecclesiastical Province. In fact, one of the chief advantages accruing from the Celebration was the proving of the capacity of the Province for joint action in matters of church life other than those of a purely synodical character. The raison d´etre of the festival is noteworthy: The arrival of the first Protestant clergyman, the Rev. John West, M.A., Oxon, and the mighty and beneficient consequences to the people of this land which have flowed from the planting of the Church, and its growth during the hundred years which came to an end October 14th, 1920. It is a story of savages converted and their physical discomforts steadily reduced; of schools opened and colleges built, and the Bible circulated in native tongues; of how order was brought into family and social life by the administration of baptism and of holy matrimony; of how the prairies and the wild region of the north were studded with churches; of how ten Dioceses were organized, a whole Ecclesiastical Province set in operation and hosts of churchmen encouraged to teach the ideals and establish the principles of Christ in a vast region where national life is making a new beginning. The leaders of the church today would have been remiss, indeed, had they let the occasion pass without united thanksgiving and concerted action. It was felt that such achievements must be marked in no ordinary way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
