- Abstract
- The Church, established in Cobourg in 1837, was moved to Toronto in 1840. It was published there 1840 to 1843 and 1846 to 1855, and then in Hamilton 1855 to 1856. It was called Canadian Churchman in 1852, reverting to the Church in 1853.
- Notes
- "The unofficial Church of England weekly was founded on May 6, 1837, by the Rev. Alexander Neil Bethune. It was a staunch defender of the privileges of the Church of England, and the Family Compact. It was edited by Bethune until 1846, except for an interval from 1841 to 1843 when John Kent was editor. After 1846 there were a number of editors who preserved the strictly Conservative viewpoint, but who wrote fewer political editorials and gave more space to church, educational and general news."
