Administrative history
Presbyteries in the United Church of Canada are courts of the Church within geographical boundaries made up of a number of Pastoral Charges. Presbytery membership consists of ordained ministers of the Charges within the Presbytery, United Church lay persons, and corresponding members. A grouping of Presbyteries within a larger geographical area make up a Conference, a higher court of the Church. The functions of a Presbytery include: overseeing Pastoral Charges within its bounds, including the designation of new Charges; receiving and disposing of petitions and appeals from lower governing bodies or courts; transmitting the above to higher bodies or courts; licensing lay persons recommended after ministry and supervision of members of the Order of Ministry within its bounds. Toronto East Presbytery was established in 1925 within the boundaries of Toronto Conference. It ceased to exist in 1971 when it became a part of the Toronto Area Presbytery.The Toronto East Presbyterial United Church Women continued to be called as such until the dissolution of Toronto Area Presbytery in 1986.
