  • Bloor Street United Church is a United Church of Canada church in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located on Bloor Street West in the downtown core near the intersection with Huron Street. It is just north of the University of Toronto, and between the Spadina and St. George subway stations. As with many of the downtown Toronto churches, Bloor United is noted for its progressivism. Three Bloor Street ministers have become Moderator of the United Church of Canada – George C. Pidgeon, Ernest M. Howse, and Bruce McLeod. Robert Baird McClure was also Moderator 1968–1971 and a member of this congregation though a layman and not its minister. The Affirming congregation is led by Rev. Dr. Russ Daye, with Rev. Dr. Martha ter Kuile as part-time minister and minister of pastoral care. The church has a large choir and a strong music program led by David Passmore. The congregation has a strong commitment to helping refugees, and has a program devoted to helping Latin American refugees become permanent members of Canadian society. In addition, there are groups dedicated to helping grandmothers caring for AIDS orphans in Africa. The children's program includes Sunday school classes for ages 4–18, and a youth and young adult discussion group. There are also online book clubs, Sunday school, free English classes, and chair yoga. Due to COVID-19, the congregation is offering worship services and events on Zoom as well as in-person. The Bloor Street building is currently undergoing redevelopment so for the time being the congregation is worshiping with St. Matthew's United Church at 729 St. Clair Avenue West. (en)
