Overview

"In times of uncertainty, threatened populations often turn to key institutions for support. The Anglican church has played a central role in helping Montreal's anglophone community deal with the social and political upheaval following the ""quiet revolution"" in Quebec. Joan Marshall examines the effect of socio-political change on the English-speaking community's use of and relationship to the Anglican church, at both the diocese and the parish level. Her argument is based on quantitative measures of attendance, membership, and financial contributions and qualitative data derived from interviews and participant observation. She also examines changes in male-female roles and expectations, the ""old order"" Book of Common Prayer versus the ""new order"" Book of Alternate Services, the role of music, and other issues to come to an understanding of the central role of the church vis-a-vis individuals, the parish communities, and broader Quebec society. Marshall explores how our concepts of institutions, community, place, cultural conflict, and cultural survival are interwoven."
