Last issue of Canadian Churchman

Notes: "This is the last issue of Canadian Churchman. Next month, the national newspaper of the Anglican Church of Canada will bear the name Anglican Journal Episcopal. The change was approved by National Executive Council last spring and is to take effect with the January [1989] issue. Canadian Churchman began in 1875 when bookkeeper Frank Wootten bought the Church Herald from his boss and renamed it Dominion Churchman". "The publication will also have a new look as well as a new name. For the first time in more than 10 years there will be a completely new design, including the masthead -- the title across the top of the front page." "The name of the publication will reflect the official French name of the Anglican Church. .... We will incorporate, in the first pages of the paper, comment written in French by either a francophone Anglican or a francophone in the ecumenical field. While a single column could be seen as tokenism, we see it as an important first step".
