A central role has been played by the Anglican Church in helping Montreal's anglophone community deal with the social and political upheaval following the Quiet Revolution in Quebec. Marshall examines the effect of these socio-political changes, on the English-speaking community's relationship to the Anglican Church." -- blurb on back of dust jacket.
- "The Anglican Church has played a central role in helping Montreal;s anglophone community deal with the social and political upheaval of post-Quiet Revolution Quebec. In times of uncertainty, threatened populations often turn to key institutions for support . Joan Marshall examines the effect of socio-political changes on the English-speaking community's use of and relationship to the Anglican Church at both the diocese and parish level. .... Marshall examines such areas as conversatism versus willingness to change, male-female role changes and expectations, the 'old order' Book of Common Prayer versus the 'new order' Book of Alternate Services, and the role of music to tease out an understanding of the central role of the church vis-a-vis individuals, the parish communities, and the wider Quebec society". -- p. [i].
