The Quiet Revolution in Quebec (jan 1, 1960 – jan 1, 1966)

Description:

As noted above, in Quebec prior to the 1960s, hospitals, social service agencies, and community services were generally owned and governed by religious orders or structures, especially the Roman Catholic Church. The Quiet Revolution in Quebec (beginning to mid-1960s), however, brought about significant changes in perspectives on religious institutions’ involvement in social services through a rejection of conservative values. Quebec society quickly became secular and embraced progressive religious ideas such as ecumenism and liberation theology, and effectively transformed them into social activism and community development.
