With Love, Lydia : The Story of Canada's First Woman Ordained Minister (Inscribed) - Wotton, Patricia

INSCRIPTION FROM PAT WOTTON on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; church stamp on ffep; otherwise absolute minimal wear; The story of the life and ministry of Lydia Emilie Gruchy is a microcosm of the larger story played out in world history, in Canadian culture, in the church, in women's lives, and in theology. It encompasses the wave of immigration looking for a new world and a future for the children; the terrible sacrifice and cost of two World Wars felt first-hand; the daily hardship of the Depression Years on the prairies; the pioneering of new prairie towns - their hard years and their heydays sometimes one and the same. The story of Reverend Doctor Lydia Gruchy, first woman ordained in Canada, is an important reflection of cultural and church change over the 20th century.
