Administrative history
The Deaconess Association met for a first conference in 1926, and assisted deaconesses in their duties and in caring for their needs. The Fellowship of Professional Women was formed between 1938 and 1939 to bring together a fellowship of women in full-time employment in the United Church as missionaries, deaconesses, Christian education directors, evangelists, teachers, nurses, doctors, and executive secretaries; and to strengthen the viewpoint of such workers in the development of Church policy.
The Fellowship of Deaconesses and Other Women Workers was established in 1963, a union of the Deaconess Association and the Fellowship of Professional Women in The United Church of Canada, all voluntary associations. This Fellowship was dissolved in 1971 upon the establishment of the Association of Professional Church Workers, made up of men and women working in a professional capacity in the Anglican and United Churches.
