Liberation theology in Canada

Liberation theology in Canada has had a significant history in the later 20th and early 21st centuries.

The Fellowship for a Christian Social Order was founded in 1934 in depression-era Kingston, Ontario,[1][2] and advocated that "the teaching of Jesus Christ, applied in an age of machine production and financial control, mean Christian Socialism".[1] During the 1970s many communities emerged in Quebec modelled on the base ecclesial communities of Latin America.[3]
