Religious Bodies in Canada Arranged<br />
by Families<br />
The following list <strong>of</strong> religious bodies appearing in the Directory Section <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Yearbook</strong> shows the<br />
“families,” or related clusters into which <strong>Canadian</strong> religious bodies can be grouped. For example, there<br />
are many communions that can be grouped under the heading “Baptist” for historical <strong>and</strong> theological reasons.<br />
It should not be assumed, however, that all denominations under one family heading are necessarily<br />
consistent in belief or practice. The family clusters tend to represent historical factors more <strong>of</strong>ten than<br />
theological or practical ones. These family categories provide one <strong>of</strong> the major pitfalls when compiling<br />
church statistics because there is <strong>of</strong>ten a tendency to combine the statistics by “families” for analytical<br />
<strong>and</strong> comparative purposes. Such combined totals are deeply flawed, even though they are <strong>of</strong>ten used as<br />
variables for sociological analysis. The arrangement by families <strong>of</strong>fered here is intended only as a general<br />
guide for conceptual organization when viewing the broad sweep <strong>of</strong> <strong>Canadian</strong> religious culture.<br />
Religious bodies that cannot be categorized under family headings appear alphabetically <strong>and</strong> are not<br />
