The Christian <strong>and</strong> Missionary<br />
Alliance<br />
The Christian <strong>and</strong> Missionary Alliance was<br />
formed in 1897 by the merger <strong>of</strong> two organizations<br />
begun in 1887 by Dr. Albert B. Simpson, The<br />
Christian Alliance <strong>and</strong> the Evangelical Missionary<br />
Alliance. The Christian <strong>and</strong> Missionary Alliance is<br />
an evangelical church that stresses the sufficiency<br />
<strong>of</strong> Jesus as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, <strong>and</strong> Coming<br />
King <strong>and</strong> has earned a worldwide reputation for its<br />
missionary accomplishments. The <strong>Canadian</strong> districts<br />
became autonomous in 1981 <strong>and</strong> formed<br />
The Christian <strong>and</strong> Missionary Alliance in Canada.<br />
