Collection F2254 - Broadcast Trust fonds

Founded in the mid-1970's in Kingston, Ontario, and established as a registered Canadian charity since 1979, The Broadcast Trust seeks to have Christian education carried out among members of the community. This objective is accomplished by publishing statements from Christian Literature in newspapers for those who may have lost contact with their church. The Trust has been continuously active since the mid-1970's. The original three trustees were the late Rev. Canon John Ames Coombes, Dr.Donald M. Schurman, and the late Dr. John S. Ellis. These three individuals were joined soon after by Dr. Ross S. Kilpatrick. More recently, the Rector of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cathedral in Kingston, was invited to nominate two further trustees. There is now too, a "Friends of the The Broadcast Trust", whose members support this Ministry of the Christian Word through the secular press, prayer, and financial donations.
