United Church has historically identified itself and takes pride as the voice of liberal evangelical Protestant opinion in Canada. It is an evangelical Protestant denomination with strong Methodist and Presbyterian roots. United Church of Canada has maintained theologically and politically liberal positions regarding its stances toward the social gospel, women’s and minority rights and relations with the wider Christian Church. As per 2001′ Census, 9% of Canadian population reported United Church as their religious affiliation. The United Church of Canada has its presence in all the parts of Canada except rural Quebec.
