The Methodist church was, more than the Presbyterians, surprisingly more than the Anglicans, and considerably ahead of the Roman Catholics, the establishment church of Toronto and, by extension, most of English Canada, from the second half of the 19th century until the 1920s.
In 1926, the Methodists combined with the Congregationalist and a few of the Prebyterian churches into the United Church of Canada and, imperceptibly, from that moment on, their decline began.
