Langham Partnership Canada has 25-year history!
In 1979, three friends of Dr. John Stott - John Cochrane, Rod Douglas and Harry Robinson - began a charitable organization known as ‘The Langham Trust’. The committee grew over the years and hosted meetings when Dr. Stott visited the Vancouver area, and kept donors informed of ministry happenings. Moneys received were used to support the scholarship and literature work of Dr. John Stott. Over the years, a couple of scholars studied in Canada and were cared for by the committee.
An ‘Ontario Chapter’ committee began in 1994 to organize meetings when Dr. Stott began visiting the Toronto area almost annually.
After John Cochrane chaired the committee for more than twenty years in the Vancouver area, the leadership was transferred to Ontario in 2000. As the association with other Langham organizations in other countries became more formalized at that time, the name was changed to the Langham Partnership - Canada to reflect our membership in the Langham Partnership International.
