List Of United Church Of Canada Churches In Toronto

The Presbyterian Church also had a very strong presence. When the two denominations merged, Toronto was at the forefront of the formation of what became the United Church. The first council of the new church was held at Metropolitan United Church, still one of the city's most prominent.

The Toronto Conference is one of the 13 conferences that the United Church is divided into. This c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
