In 1925, four church bodies joined to form the United Church of Canada. The founding members were the Methodist Church, Canada, the Congregational Union of Canada, the General Council of Union Churches, and 70% of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. The Wesleyan Methodists of Bermuda joined in 1930, and the Evangelical United Brethren in 1968. The union was the first in the world to cross historic denominational lines. Impetus for union came from the need to serve Canada’s vast northwest and the desire for more effective overseas mission.
The United Church is Canada’s largest Protestant church and includes various strata of the population. It is known for its consistent stand on social and environmental issues. It also has to face challenges of a large and diverse body, with debates about sexual ethics and other controversial questions. It maintains its ecumenical ties with the families from which it arose, being a member not only of the WCC but also of the WARC and the WMC.
The United Church has eleven theological training institutions, with some attached to major universities. The United Church Observeris the principal publication; there are three other periodicals covering liturgy and music, education, and mission.
