The CCHS Journal publishes original research articles that explore the history of the Anglican Church of Canada as well as broader themes in Canadian Christian history. It also includes reviews of scholarly books that contribute to the study of church history in Canada or offer insights relevant to the Canadian context.
Submissions
The CCHS Journal welcomes submissions from scholars working in a range of historical disciplines and methodologies. The editor is particularly interested in articles addressing topics such as:
- Influential figures in Canadian church history
- Church architecture, hymnody and liturgy
- Colonial and post-colonial contexts
- The roles and experiences of Indigenous and Inuit peoples in church history
- Ecumenical history in Canada
Submissions that are not explicitly focused on Canada may be considered where there is clear relevance to the Canadian experience. Greater latitude is given to book reviews, particularly where works may offer comparative models or interpretive insights for Canadian scholars.
Manuscripts for consideration should normally be approximately 7,500 words in length and prepared according to the Chicago Manual of Style. Submissions are reviewed anonymously.
The editor also welcomes proposals for future special issues of the CCHS Journal.
Millman Prize Essay Contest
The Canadian Church Historical Society awards the Millman Prize ($500) for the best essay in English or French on Canadian church history by a graduate student enrolled at a Canadian university. The prize is supported by the Thomas R. Millman Endowment Fund.
