The United Church of Canada Act

Private Bill to Amend—Third Reading

December 11, 2018


The Honorable Senator Percy E. Downe:

Just a brief clarification. I want to thank Senator Harder and Senator Patterson for their work, but there’s an important clarification.

I grew up attending the United Church, and we came from the Methodist side. Not all the Presbyterians joined — and that is significant — only some of them. Today you still see Presbyterian churches in Canada. You don’t see any Methodist churches anymore. It’s a significant point. As someone who married a Presbyterian, I wanted to get that on the record as well.
