Presbyterian Church in Canada - Definition and Overview

The current Presbyterian Church in Canada was formed in 1925. It consisted of those Presbyterian congregations which did not concur with the majority opinion among Canadian Presbyterians of the time which favored the merger with the Methodist and Congregationalist churches into the United Church of Canada. About 30% of the former Presbyterians remained separate from the United Church and formed their own body, which continues until now. The Presbyterian Church in Canada is comprised largely of members not comfortable with the United Church's liberalism and is closer to the Reformed Church tradition as a result.
