Theology Shaping Witness
Celebrate 100 Years with Touchstone!
2025 is a monumental year for The United Church of Canada! From coast to coast to coast, we are celebrating the impact of the mission of Jesus Christ through the life and work of our church.
To celebrate, will you join us in making a special gift to Touchstone journal? For four decades, Touchstone has been lifting up, studying, assessing, and encouraging the United Church through thoughtful essays, personal stories, sermons, and more. Theology, culture, history, ministry, the living witness and life of the church—this is what we are all about.
We are inviting you to make a special gift of $100 to Touchstone this year to assist us in our volunteer-led mission to continue sharing all these good things. You will receive a charitable receipt for tax purposes. To donate, visithttps://www.touchstonejournal.ca/donate
Any amount will be gratefully received.
Thank you - and Happy Anniversary!
Your friends at Touchstone
Welcome to the online home of Touchstone,
a Canadian journal of theology and heritage.
Touchstone engages Christian thought, the Bible, ethics, and life in light of contemporary life and the witness of the past. Our contributors are often part of The United Church of Canada, but many others join us in exploring these questions as well. Printed editions arrive in your mailbox three times each year. The online version appears one year later.
​
Touchstone is a registered charity and operates on a non-profit, volunteer basis.
​
Have a look at our blog and check out some past editions on this site. Why not subscribe and find out more about the latest thinking? Significant discounts are available to new subscribers, theological students, and those recently ordained, commissioned, recognized, or designated. We are also grateful to receive donations of any amount to help sustain the ministry of the journal, now in our 44th year.

Welcome to Touchstone!
