This would change with the early colonization efforts of the French – with whom the First Peoples made their initial and most extensive contacts – and later with the English. By initially making allies of the First Peoples, these two empires slowly imposed a new order and reality upon the region. To implement this new order, they brought with them their pioneering spirit, religion, and African slaves who would become African Canadians. How would the latter two (religion and African slaves) relate to each other insofar as the building of the African Canadian church? Pursuant to that, this paper will attempt to assess the creation and expansion of the African Canadian church in Canada; did it grow organically, like its southern counterpart, or was it an African American transplant? To assist in answering these questions, we must first gain an understanding of the extent of the African slave trade and ascertain the various conduits that supplied African slaves and free blacks to the country – paying particular attention to the religion they brought with them. We will endeavour to answer these questions by providing a brief overview of the origins of the Dominion starting with its First Peoples – as they may figure significantly in the African Canadian story.","PeriodicalId":81435,"journal":{"name":"Historical papers.

It is based on a compilation of data and observations drawn from research done, in part, to help Statistics Canada overhaul the response list for the religious affiliation question in the upcoming 2021 census. In compiling a comprehensive list of denominations in Canada, it became clear that the denominational configuration of Canadian Christianity has taken a kaleidoscopic turn in the last forty years. The total number of denominations in Canada now exceeds 340, an increase of more than 120 denominations since 1980. More than sixty-five new denominations were organized in Canada during the last two decades of the twentieth century, and more than fifty-five since the turn of the century. The additions occur within Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox traditions.","PeriodicalId":81435,"journal":{"name":"Historical papers. Canadian Historical Association.

As a result, these two academic fields are treated as mutually exclusive. In order to bridge the divide between these two disciplines, this paper engages in an interdisciplinary study between theological and feminist studies. I intend to conduct archival and library research on the overlap between Christian missionary history and Chinese and Japanese women’s history. Evidence of this overlap can be found in the memorandum The Story of Canadian Methodist Women Missionaries published by Toyo Eiwa Girls’ Academy in 2010 in memory of Methodist women’s missionary work in Japan. Annual reports housed in the United Church Archives clearly document the history of how Canadian home missions rescued Chinese slave girls and received Japanese picture brides upon their arrival in Canada, and of how Canadian foreign missions spread Christian teaching abroad. In contrast, Tani E. Barlow – a Chinese feminist critic – in The Question of Women in Chinese Feminism, explores the history of Chinese feminism and its connection with Japanese and western feminism. In 1975, a Japanese countryman whispered the story of Yamada Waka (1878-1956) to Tomoko Yamazaki, a researcher of Japanese women’s history, and in 1978, she wrote in Japanese The Song of an Ameyuki Girl: The Vicissitudes of Yamada Waka’s Life.
