The Missionary Society of the Church of England in Canada (MSCC) was created in September 1902 by the General Synod. The MSCC formed by combining the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society, the Canadian Church Missionary Society, and the Woman’s Auxiliary. Its aim was to include all members of the Church into domestic and foreign missions. Internationally, it sponsored missions in Japan, China, India, Palestine, and Egypt. In Canada, the MSCC participated in assisting missionary dioceses, the Columbia Coast Mission, Church Camp Missions, Jewish Missions, Japanese Missions, Immigration chaplaincies, and Residential Schools, as well as working with First Nations and Inuit and with immigrants and settlers. The MSCC ceased operations in the late 1960s, although its Board of Management still produces financial statements related with ongoing MSCC legacies and trusts.
