Written in celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the United Church of Canada and prepared by the Archives Committee of the Conference of Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario, this collection of articles explores, in fifteen articles, the issues and concerns of the prairie congregations of the Presbyterian, Methodist, and Congregational Churches that combined in 1925 to for the United Church of Canada. The volume also includes six short essays about unique congregations, two bibliographic guides on archive holdings, and a charming photo essay on historic churches in Manitoba and northwestern Ontario.
