History
The Board of Christian Education was established in 1932, with the amalgamation of the former Boards of Education, with responsibility for colleges and secondary schools, and the former Board of Religious Education, with responsibility for leadership in children's, youth and adult work within and outside of the Church. The Board was responsible for the entire educational programme of the Church, in schools, churches and the home. In 1942, the Board's responsibility for the theological colleges and secondary schools of the Church was transferred to the new Board of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The Board of Christian Education was originally structured around Departments for children, youth, young people and adults, and functional committees for administration of leadership training, field administration, curriculum and interdenominational work in Christian education. The Board was headed by a Secretary with two Associate Secretaries and several men and women appointed to operate specific activities such as boys' work and girls' work.
The Board was reorganized and added to the Division of Congregational Life and Work upon its establishment in 1964; many of the standing committees were discontinued and in their place staff sections were developed, one for each age group (children, youth, young people, adults) with an Associate Secretary in charge of each section. The Department of Sunday School Publications, late of the Board of Publication, was incorporated into its various programme areas. The Board had responsibility for the New Curriculum, the numerous children's and youth groups within the Church as well as for providing classes and assistance for adults. In 1972 the Board was made a part of the new Division of Mission in Canada.
