In lived religious practices at home, in church-based voluntary associations, and in the wider community, the Anglican women of Conception Bay constructed a female theological culture characterized by mutuality, negotiation of gender roles, and resistance to male authority, combining feminist consciousness with Christian commitment. Bonnie Morgan brings together evidence from oral interviews, denominational publications, census data, minute books of the Church of England Women's Association, headstone epitaphs, and household art and objects to demonstrate the profound ties between labour and faithfulness: for these rural women, work not only expressed but also shaped belief. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eOrdinary Saints, \u003c\/i\u003ewith its focus on gender, labour, and lived faithfulness, breaks new ground in the history of religion in Canada.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bonnie Morgan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0773558918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780773558915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Bonnie Morgan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096715010303,"sku":"9780773558915","price":43.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ordinary-saints-bonnie-morgan-9780773558915","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
