Publisher's Synopsis
""Pioneer Church Work in British Columbia"" is a historical memoir written by Herbert Henry Gowen in 1899. The book chronicles the life and work of Acton Windeyer Sillitoe, the first Bishop of New Westminster, during his tenure from 1879 to 1887. Sillitoe's mission was to establish the Anglican Church in the largely uncharted and sparsely populated region of British Columbia, Canada. The book provides a detailed account of the challenges and triumphs that Sillitoe faced in his efforts to establish a strong and vibrant church community in the area. The memoir covers Sillitoe's early life, his education, his ordination, and his journey to British Columbia. It also describes his interactions with the indigenous peoples of the region, his efforts to build churches and schools, and his work to establish a strong clergy. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Anglican Church in Canada, the history of British Columbia, or the history of Christian missions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
