"All the essays in this volume were initially written in response to an invitation from Renison College at the University of Waterloo to come together to reflect on where Anglicanism in Canada finds itself as one century ends and another dawns. Thus, these essays were first presented at a conference hosted by Renison College, `Challenges Facing the Anglican Communion at the End of the Twentieth Century'. Held in May 1999, the conference was part of the fortieth anniversary celebrations of Renison College." -- Intro., p. [iii].

"This essay seeks to consider the outstanding patronage of both decorative art and architecture by one Canadian family active in the first half of the 20th century. I will be focusing on the generosity and vision of Gerald Larkin, and to a lesser extent, of his father, Peter Larkin. The Larkins, like many Canadians of that time, were Anglophile, and to a great extent, their taste as patrons was shaped by the influence of the British Arts and Crafts Movement. .... Both men were devout Anglicans and both were patrons of the arts of worship in the Diocese of Toronto. It would be interesting to explore the contributions of Peter Larkin to his church, St. Paul's, Bloor Street, but instead, this paper will focus on his son's role in the decoration of St. Thomas', Huron Street and Trinity College [Toronto]" (p. 4-5).

"This book, which grew out of the Larkin-Stuart lectures I delivered in November 2001, celebrates the sesquicentenary of Trinity College." -- Preface.
The author "details the founding of Trinity College, telling the story of an important group of Anglicans who tried to respond to the powerful social forces reshaping English-speaking Canada in the middle of the nineteenth century. He explores the motives, goals, and social and religious ideas that were behind the creation of this important institution of higher education, explaining the reasons Trinity was founded, the role it played in Canadian society, and the way its founding doctrines were transformed into a functioning college. He also challenges the social and educational views of the founders, giving voice to those who did not share the founders' vision and criticized the course the college was determined to pursue. These dissenting voices help us understand the problems the new college faced and the steps a new generation of leadership would take to point the college in a new direction, and define a very different relationship with the modern world". -- back dust jacket.

"The Founder of Trinity Colleg and those associated with him had certain ideals of education of which we need to be reminded from time to time. It is well also to recall how their successors sought to maintain those ideals in the changed conditions of later days. If these account of our history helps in an measure to prepare for the service the College should render in its second century it will have served a useful purpose". -- Preface.
