Abstract
By 10:40 on a Sunday morning in September 1997, few visitors had emerged from the downtown hotel whose name describes it as being at Le Centre of Montreal. Thus when a couple hailed the first cab from among a queue of twenty cabs, the taxi-driven by what Quebecois call an anglophone (or a person whose language of conversation at home is English)-sprang forward. The following conversation then ensued: Where to?...St. Anglican Church... (Braking the cab a stop, responding in a disgusted tone) Do you know where St. Church is?...Yes, 1101 Stanley Street... Do you know where 1101 Stanley Street is?. ..Uhno...It's two blocks from here. You want me take you two blocks. And do you know how many hours I have been waiting in that line for a fare? Designed by W. T. Thomas and completed in 1870, St. Anglican Church at 1101 Stanley Street in Montreal represents a superb example of neo-Gothic architecture in Canada. Characterized by stained-glass windows and by richly carved woodwork, the cruciform interior is entirely free of columns. The large double hammer-beam roof and the rich woodwork stand out even in a North American city known for its architectural monuments. The church can seat six hundred worshipers. An ornate rood screen separates the chancel from the nave. The altar be used that morning is on the platform in front of the chancel bearing a cross and two candles. The Canadian flag, the Union Jack, the flag of the Anglican Church of Canada, the Quebec flag, the City of Montreal flag, a Canadian merchant marine flag dating from World War II, and a piano stand the side. Also placed in the pulpit is a projection screen. On this Sunday, some eighty worshipers are scattered among the pews when the service begins at 11 A.M. Elderly whites predominate, but the congregation also contains a substantial minority of blacks. A few families with children are present. All four ushers are black. The church has worshipers of other backgrounds in its membership, but its dominant groups are persons of British descent, Caribbean blacks who were raised Anglican, and some French Canadians. After the accomplished organist plays a prelude by J. P Sweelinck, the Family Eucharist starts at 11 A.M. The longest announcement period a reviewer can recall at the start of a service opens worship. Plainly accustomed its length, families with children as well as other parishioners drift in throughout it. By the time of the sermon, the total number of worshipers has risen roughly one hundred and thirtythe average attendance on a typical Sunday. The rector-an anglophone of about fifty who pronounces the name of the church as Sin George's and the word last as lasst-begins by asking the people greet those around them. After urging anyone new the congregation come the newcomer's tea at the rectory next Sunday, he introduces a female communicant as the contact person for that tea. In addition, he announces the forthcoming first conference synod of the diocese of Montreal (of which St. is a parish). All eucharists at St. George's, he then declares, are open to all who love the Lord Jesus. He also announces that grape juice is available at one end of the altar any one who prefers it fermented wine. A period of silence follows, and then the rector prays the opening prayer. During the announcements, a choir of eight-whose trained voices cause them sound like a larger body-arrives quietly in the side aisle. Led by a crucifer, the procession begins. The processional hymn is F. W. Faber's My God, how wonderful thou art. During the hymn the rector's good singing voice is clearly heard, as it is in all later songs and hymns. Not for the first time, a reviewer reflects that people generally enter fields in which they believe they can do well and that the Christian ministry and priesthood represents one of only a few fields in which a person can both speak and sing publicly. …
