The first chapter is an overview history of Baptists around the world, fol- lowed by a second one that covers the history of Baptist witness in Canada, with the next six addressing Baptist polity. Chapter three covers ‘Baptists and Others’, addressing the distinctive place of the Baptist family in the wider Christian Church, with a particular emphasis on its expression in Canada. Chapters four to six focus on ‘Church Member- ship’, Church Ordinances (Baptism and Communion) and ‘Church Governance and Issues of Authority’. Chapter seven addresses the subject of ‘Religious Liberty’, with a final chapter on ‘Baptists and the Future’. This last chapter covers the increasingly mar- ginal place of Christian Churches in Canadian public life, together with a brief reference to the place of women in Baptist ministry and the impact of technology in the worship and witness of local congregations.
