The United Church of Canada is celebrating their 100th Anniversary this year. The United Church was inaugurated on June 10, 1925, in Toronto when the Methodist Church Canada, the Congregational Union of Canada and 70 percent of the Presbyterian Church in Canada entered into a union.
“This is the 100th anniversary of the United Church of Canada,” said Linda Buchanan. “What is interesting about the United Church of Canada is that it’s the only one that is enshrined as an act of parliament within the Canadian government and law. It was formed in 1925, with the Methodists, two-thirds of the Presbyterian Church of Canada and the Congregationalists coming together and forming the United Church of Canada. They wrote the Act of the United Church.
