Baptist Union of Western Canada
The Baptist Union of Western Canada (BUWC) was formed in 1907 as the Baptist Convention of Western Canada, and adopted its present name in 1909. The Union has suffered several setbacks in its history, including the withdrawal of numerous churches in the 1920s during the fundamentalist/modernist controversy, the closing of Brandon College (in Brandon, Manitoba) in 1939, and the withdrawal of the Swedish Baptists in the late 1940s.
