My blog posts revolve around my interests and vocation as a historian: the intersection of history and contemporary church life, the intersection of history and contemporary politics, serendipitous discoveries in archives or on research trips, publications and research projects, upcoming conferences, and speaking engagements.

 The reactions are predictable.
Those on the Left do something. Then, almost in real time, some of their critics “lock and load,” flip open the laptop, and let loose a blast of criticisms. Those on the Right do something. Then, almost in real time, some of their critics “lock and load,” flip open the laptop, and let loose a blast of criticisms.  I am pleased to announce that my book Christian, the State, and War (2022) is now published with Bloomsbury.
Here is the link: https://www.bloomsbury.com/ca/christians-the-state-and-war-9781978712911/  I recently had the privilege of being invited to take part in a book panel at the Canadian Society of Presbyterian History at Knox College, Toronto. The book in focus was Stuart Macdonald’s Tradition and Tension: The Presbyterian Church in Canada, 1945-1985 (MQUP, 2025). It was an enjoyable time to get back to Knox College, for I had been a doctoral student there in the late 1990s into the early 2000s. It was a wonderful experience, in part because I had such top-quality faculty guiding me through the program. What made the return to Knox College even more meaningful was the fact that the panelists were comprised of former faculty who played a part in my formation as a historian. And what made it even a more poignant event was the fact that those same faculty had all recently retired. Here is a picture taken after the panel. From left to right, John Vissers, Phyllis Airhart, Stuart Macdonald, Alan Hayes, and me. (Apparently male church historians wear blue shirts.)
