Description

This volume discusses the process of union among the Protestant churches of Ontario soon after Confederation, and though the organic union is still incomplete, the "Protestant outlook" exists today even more certainly than it did in Canada West. The end of the Clergy Reserves marked the removal of the last major barrier to Protestant unity of outlook, and paved the way for the development of a sort of omnibus Protestant denomination, which was not an organization but an attitude.
