THIS IS TRURO PRESBYTERY
Truro Presbytery is the oldest presbytery in the United Church of Canada. We comprise of 28 pastoral charges which extend from Lower Five Islands to Truro, the Musquodoboits, River Philip and Oxford, the North Shore (Pugwash to Tatamagouche), Milford, Upper Stewiacke, Valley, Noel, and all points in between.
We also sponsors (jointly by Truro and Pictou Presbyteries) an outdoor ministry – MacLennan Memorial Camp at Chance Harbour, Pictou County . Truro Presbytery will hold a vote on September 11, 2014 to determine its continuance of sponsorship beyond October 31, 2014.
Included in Truro Presbytery is all ministry personnel and one lay delegate per congregation.
Larger congregations may have a lay representative for each 100 resident members. There are also members-at-large (up to ten) who are appointed by the presbytery, usually at the request of committee chairs. These folks have particular skills or experience that the committee needs.
The United Church has what is known as a “presbyterian” style of government, which simply means that we have presbyteries, instead of an “episcopal” style, which has bishops. The presbytery is responsible for many of the functions of a bishop, including the oversight of congregations and ministry personnel.
The 2013 Manual:
The beliefs and policies that shape our life together as the United Church of Canada are found in “The Manual” – a new one is published after each General Council.
The first section of the Manual contains the Basis of Union, the articles of belief and organization that were agreed upon by the three founding denominations (Presbyterian, Congregational and Methodist) that came together in 1925 to form the United Church of Canada. United Brothern joined United Church in 1960’s. In order to change the Basis of Union, a General Council must submit the proposed changes to the presbyteries (and in some cases to the congregations) through a process known as “remits”. A proposed change requires the agreement of two-thirds of the presbyteries across Canada.
