Not a Typical or Uncontroversial Fundamentalist: Sidney T. Smith and the Story of Elim Chapel , 2010
On the day following his death, trading on the floor of the Winnipeg Grain Exchange... more On the day following his death, trading on the floor of the Winnipeg Grain Exchange was halted and a period of silence observed to honour the memory of Sidney T. Smith. From his beginnings as a commission‐ based stove salesman for the McClary Manufacturing Company, Smith rose to the stature of grain baron, founding the Reliance Grain Company and twice serving as president of the Winnipeg Grain Exchange. Yet his greatest passion was his Christian faith, and particularly the work and ministry of Winnipeg’s Elim Chapel. A lay preacher of international repute, Smith was a confidant of such luminaries of twentieth century evangelicalism as Arno C. Gaebelein and Lewis Sperry Chafer, and late in his life played the role of mentor to Jim Rayburn, the founder of Young Life.
Sidney Smith, however, was hardly a conventional Christian leader. The very qualities that fuelled his rise in the grain business also shaped his work in ministry, and his blatant disregard for the cultural assumptions of the evangelical and fundamentalist circles in which he traveled often produced deep, even divisive controversy.
Drawing on sermon texts, interviews, archival materials, and published works ⎯ both from the history of the grain trade and from sources related to the history of the church and evangelicalism ⎯ "Not a Typical or Uncontroversial Fundamentalist traces the story and significance of this extraordinary figure.
