Cover of The Many Rooms of This House: Diversity in Toronto's Places of Worship Since 1840, a book nominated for the 2018 Heritage Toronto Awards.
Description
This book recounts the rise and decline of religion in Toronto over the past 170 years. It examines how the growing wealth of Toronto over time stimulated religious congregations to compete over the size, style, materials, and decoration of their places of worship. The book helps readers understand how this once overwhelmingly Protestant city became a symbol of diversity.
