Christ Church Beaurepaire was established in 1924. Our speaker, Michael Silverthorne, member of this Church, will talk about the first 100 years of this Anglican Church.
Michael Silverthorne has always been interested in the past, to what came before what we have now and how we got where we are. He taught les études classiques at McGill for nearly forty years, especially ancient Greek literature. In his latter years he translated several neo-Latin texts on political and philosophical topics, such as works of Hobbes, Spinoza and the notebooks on religious topics of Sir Isaac Newton.
