Fred Stenson

Shirley Serviss

Gerald
Hutchinson

The words and images of writers, poets and community historians reflect a different voice than those of historians, and they provide a unique commentary on the world of the missionary. They speak with a different type of understanding and insight that draws on historical accuracy and provide glimpses of the human dimension of the world of the missionary.

Presented here are excerpts from the work of award-winning Alberta novelist Fred Stenson, author of The Trade, Edmonton poet Shirley Serviss and from scholar and United Church of Canada clergyman Rev. Dr. Gerald Hutchinson.
