United Church of Canada

The United Church of Canada (l'Église Unie du Canada) is Canada's second largest church (after the Roman Catholic Church), and its largest Protestant denomination. About 250,000 people attend United Church services each Sunday, although some 2.8 million Canadians reported the United Church as their religious affiliation in the country's 2001 census. The United Church describes itself as having a presence in "all parts of Canada except rural Quebec".
