Modernity and the Dilemma of North American Anglican Identities, 1880-1950

Katerberg (history, Calvin College, Michigan) describes the life and work of five leaders of the Anglican Church in Canada and the Episcopal Church in the U.S. from the late-19th to the mid-20th century. He explores the ways in which these leaders used a shared religious language and theology to create a cultural framework offering a clear identity and purpose for the members of their communities. Coverage includes the relationship between evangelicalism, liberalism, and anglo-catholicism; the impact of modernity on Anglican traditions of spirituality; a comparison of Canadian and U.S. perspectives; and a critique of the secularization model in favor of a view of religion within the realms of modernity and competing cultural identities. c.

It is 1935 and Psychiatrist Charles Flemming has other concerns on his mind: the unfair nature of Canadian Government immigration regulations for Chinese, Jews and other minorities. He meets a Jewish medical student and by chance meets his older sister, Rebekah, who is a widow. As a result, he is determined to search out the immigration decisions in Ottawa. He goes to Ottawa with Rebekah. They fall in love despite the religious differences. The other issues on his mind are the poor status of social justice in Canada and his own dilemma of deception from a relative of his previous fiancée in Poland. He eventually sails to Poland with Rebekah and resolves the deception by granting forgiveness to the mother of his dead fiancée. Rebekah stays in Lotz continuing her research on the history of the Russian rulers treatment of the Jews in Poland.
