O'Leary-West Cape United Church pastoral charge

Notice biographique

The O'Leary United Church, as did many of its counterparts, had its roots in the Bible Christian, Methodist, and Presbyterian denominations in Prince Edward Island. The Bible Christian circuit, ministered to by Francis Metherell from 1847 to 1875, encompassed West Cape (including Cascumpeque and Bideford) and West Devon while the Methodist congregations were located in Bethel, Glenwood, Knutsford, Cambellton, etc. At some point in the latter part of the 19th century, the Bible Christians merged with the Methodists and in 1925 this circuit became the West Cape charge of the United Church of Canada. In 1887 the Presbyterian congregations of Bloomfield (originally part of the Alberton charge) O'Leary, and Brae joined to form one charge which became part of the United Church of Canada following church union in 1925. The newly erected Presbyterian Church became the O'Leary United Church. In 1968 the Bloomfield church closed and the congregation began to worship in the O'Leary Church. In 1969 the West Cape and O'Leary charges officially amalgamated into the current pastoral charge.

Historique de la conservation

Présentation du contenu

The fonds consists of vital statistics records, membership rolls, sessional and annual minutes, and church group minutes for the O'Leary/West Cape United Church pastoral charge and its predecessors the Bible Christian, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches of the area. These have been arranged into five series as follows:

1) Bible Christian/ Methodist records
2) Presbyterian records
3) West Cape United Church pastoral charge
4) O'Leary United Church pastoral charge
5) O'Leary/West Cape United pastoral charge

There will of course be some overlapping of records where record books from the earlier denominations continued to be used after church union. Moreover, although Series 5 purports to be the records of the amalgamated O'Leary/West Cape Charge established in 1969, it does contain some earlier records of the O'Leary Pastoral Charge as these volumes continued to be used for the new charge.

The designation of the term volume is arbitrary and does not necessarily refer to a physical volume but may refer to a section containing a specific type of data within the original volumes.

Classement

N.B. When these records were filmed they were not arranged in accordance with this finding aid which was completed at a much later date. It is important therefore to refer to the Reel # location given to each volume in the volume listing as well as to the finding aid
