Of all of the Protestant faiths that blossomed in Waterloo in the 19th century, Anglicanism enjoyed a special status, which is reflected in the splendour of St Luke’s church. In the Eastern Townships, the Anglican faith was special in that it was considered a state religion and, as such, 1/7 of the property that changed hands in the region became the property of the Anglican clergy. This is an advantage that no other religion, Protestant or Catholic, can claim for themselves.
