(詳細はFreedom of religion in Canada is a constitutionally protected right, allowing residents the freedom to assemble and worship as each sees fit without coercion, limitation or interference. The Seventh Day Adventist Church's minority status increased its sensitivity to religious freedom early in its history. Shortly after its birth in 1860, the American Civil War and later "Sunday legislation" in the 1880s and 1890s raised concerns about religious liberty. That sensitivity accompanied the church's expansion into Canada. ==Timeline== *1904, Lornedale Academy Workers Arrested for Violating Sunday Law *1904, International Sunday Rest Conference, St. Louis *1906, An Act Respecting the Lord's Day. *1950, The Shops Act (UK)〔(United Kingdom Legislation: Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1969 )〕 *1952, Lord’s Day Act, R.S.C. 1952, c. 171, s. 4. *1961, June 26.
