Show detail Hide detail

Presbyterian Church of Canada : The origin of the Presbyterian Church of Canada dates back to the 16th century and the Reformation in Europe. It was at this time that the Reformed (Presbyterian) Church was established under the leadership of Jean Calvin (of France) and John Knox (of Scotland). The Reformed Church thereafter spread through France, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Scotland, Hungary. In Canada Presbyterianism was established by Huguenot (French), Scottish and Irish pioneers. It was not until 1604 that the first worship service was held among the Acadians. In 1875, through the amalgamation of five smaller branches of Presbyterianism, the Presbyterian Church in Canada was formed. As of 2002 the Presbyterian Church has over 1,000 congregations across Canada. "Knox History: Who is the Presbyterian Church of Canada?" Knox Presbyterian Church. 2002. 28 January 2002. . 1212
