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.
I sometimes blog for two other organizations, the Canadian Baptist Historical Society and the Centre for Post-Christendom Studies. The views expressed in these blogs represent the views of the authors, and not necessarily those of any organizations with which they are associated. |

If you love numbers games - this contest is a dream come true. For the rest of us, it seems like a math nightmare! The text is a bit fuzzy. The object of the contest is to tally up all the numbers in the church and the surrounding property to come up with the total cost of furnishings. (Image from the United Church Archives, Toronto)
