History & Biography

“Thomas Power has assembled here an outstanding collection of essays which combine to reveal the crucial role played by Trinity College Dublin’s Divinity School in supplying clergy for the Anglican Church worldwide for nearly a century, not least to Canada, and they unravel the rich evangelical strands within that diaspora. Ireland’s sectarian hostilities were exported with them, but the contributors illuminate the sheer variety of émigré stories, each with a distinctive sense of mission.”
