Witness at "The Cross" : a history of Kensington United Church, 1887-1991 / by the History Committee of Kensington United Church

  • CA PCA Acc4471
  • Collection
  • 1991

After describing the general congregational history of the United Church in Kensington, Prince Edward Island, from its beginnings to the 1990s, this volume gives an account of the history and activities of various church groups such as the Sunday School. CGIT, United Church Women, etc.

Kensington, or Barrett's Cross as it was then known, Prince Edward Island, was part of the Bedeque and, later, Margate circuits of the Methodist faith. A Methodist church was first built in Kensington in 1888 on land donated by Hon. G.W.W. Bentley. A Presbyterian church had been built in 1886 as part of the Malpeque circuit. In 1925 Methodists and Presbyterians joined to create the United Church in Kensington, worshipping in the former Methodist Church.
