* Interesting note from the Observer
After checking, double-checking, then checking some more, we are now certain that The United Church Observer is not only the oldest continuously published magazine in Canada - our roots go back to 1829 - but is the oldest continuously published magazine in North America!  We predate The Scientific American by 16 years and Harper’s by 21.  And as best we can tell, we are the second-oldest magazine in the English-speaking world.  The top honour goes to Britain’s Spectator magazine, which has been around since the early 1700s and published continuously since 1828, a scant year before we came on the scene.  Our origins date back to the first half of the 19th century, when Canadian Methodists decided to found a weekly newspaper, The Christian Guardian edited by Rev. Egerton Ryerson.  When Canadian Methodists, Congregationalists and most Presbyterians merged into The United Church of Canada in 1925, the three denominational newspapers also joined forces as The New Outlook.  The publication became The United Church Observer in 1939.

** Wondering about wondercafe.ca?
wondercafe.ca is the public face of the United Church of Canada’s Emerging Spirit Campaign.
It is designed to get conversation going for people between 30 and 45 with little or no spiritual background and connections. Research has shown that this group’s values and questions about life tend to be close to those of our church.  wondercafe.ca tries hard to break through their impression of us as humourless and judgmental.
Does it succeed? Check it out and judge for yourself!
