I recently enjoyed presenting a paper at Congress 2024 at McGill University for the Canadian Society of Church History. My paper was entitled “Rev. Dr. Muriel Carder (1922-2023): A Canadian Baptist Renaissance Woman.”
 
Muriel Carder is an iconic figure among Baptists in the CBOQ (Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec), yet little is known of her and nothing published about her long time of ministry (she recently died at the age of 100). I hope that this paper provides a helpful glimpse of her life and provokes some others to take up the task of carrying out a further and more detailed analysis of her experiences as missionary, pastor, professor, author, chaplain, and Bible translator.
