      History

      With financial restructuring in the early 1990s the United Church Publishing House was sectioned into two departments: the Department of Publishing and the Department of Retail and Distribution. In 2002 the United Church Resource Distribution (UCRD) was formed as a result of the restructuring of the Division of Communication becoming the United Church Resource Production and Distribution Unit (UCRPD). Until 2002, the United Church Publishing House was responsible for the production, marketing and distribution of all UCC resources. When the UCRPD formed, the Publishing House still existed as a brand with in it and controlled production while UCRD served as a centralized order fulfillment and distribution service for the United Church of Canada to distribute UCC produced and supported resources. The distribution network included a central General Council Office infrastructure supported by distribution revenue and a network of Presbytery and Conference resource centres across Canada. Resources distributed included: UCPH publications, Voices United and other worship resources, Mission and Service program and support materials, free and paid subscriptions, curricula and General Council materials. Marketing of publications was the responsibility of the Publishing House yet came from the UCRD budget.
