Geschiedenis
The founder of the Holiness Movement Church in Canada (incorporated 1900), Ralph Cecil Horner was born near Shawville, Quebec in 1854. In 1872, he had a conversion experience at a nearby Methodist camp. Ordained a Methodist minister in May 1887, he was eventually deposed from the ministry on account of disciplinary issues. Following the deposition, Horner went on to organize his followers into what would become the Holiness Movement Church in Canada. In 1918, Horner, along with a number of follows, left the church he had founded and helped organize the Standard Church in America. He died on September 12, 1921.
