Opis

Between the two World Wars, leaders of the mainline Protestant denominations in Canada - Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian, United and Baptist - were engaged in a sustained effort to formulate and apply a form of Christian internationalism that would be relevant to the needs of a rapidly changing world. Robert Wright analyzes the origins of the vision behind this effort and its ambivalent implementation, and describes its effects on the international Christian community and the Canadian approach to foreign aid and development in the post-World War II period. Wright examines these churches' historical connections with the outside world and their newly cultivated interest in international politics. He argues that the clerical and missionary elite's vision of "a new internationalism" was burdened by essentially "Victorian" ideas of the inherent superiority of Protestant Christianity, political democracy and Anglo-Saxon "race characteristics".
