1.5 Clint Humfrey | Reading | "Robert Rundle: The Story of Western Canada’s First Protestant Missionary"

Join us for a reading of Clint Humfrey's article that tells the story of Rundle's eight years of challenging itinerant ministry to the Cree and Blackfoot peoples in Western Canada (1840-1848). Though viewed as poorly suited for frontier life, his earnest desire to see sinners saved led to mid-19th century conversions among Indigenous communities, an enduring testimony to a simple Gospel preacher.All quotations are taken from The Rundle journals, 1840–1848, intro. G. M. Hutchinson, ed. H. A. Dempsey (Calgary, 1977).
