Presbyterian History turns 50 this year, first published in March 1957. The bi-annual publication of the Committee on History has recounted the stories of Canadian Presbyterianism, including tales of how congregations got started, biographies of lay and ordained Presbyterians, and the role of Presbyterians in the history of Canada.
Distributed to every congregation through the PCPak, the publication has known three editors: Dr. John Johnston (1957-1961); Dr. T. Mel Bailey (1961-1989); and Peter Bush (1990-present). The late Dr. Bailey was also a contributing writer; as is well-known historian Dr. John Moir.
The publication seeks to be approachable for the average reader, while providing enough detail to engage specialists in the field. The publication's cover, while changing over the years, currently features a photograph of The Kirk, St. George's, New Brunswick, the oldest continuously worshiped-in Presbyterian building in the country.
Presbyterian History is also available through individual subscriptions.
