Church House and left the sanctuary with minor structural damage. As the neighbourhood was rapidly changing with the arrival of office buildings, due consideration was given to repairing the damaged structure and selling the property, or uniting with the Yorkminster congregation. The decision to unite with Yorkminster was made, and the first business meeting of the combined congregations took place in October 1961. The congregation was renamed Yorkminster Park Baptist Church. Since W.A. Cameron, the church has had six other senior ministers – Emlyn Davies (1951–1961), Murray Ford (1962-1965), John Gladstone (1965–1991), Kerr Speirs (1991–1999), and the current minister, Peter Holmes (2001–present). Architecture Built in the Tudor Gothic Revival style, the church is made of Owen Sound rubble stone walls, with Indiana limestone used for the piers, arches and traceried windows in the aisles, nave, and transepts. Its immense size gives Yorkminster Park seating for 1,200 people in the main sanctuary, with room for 500 more in the transept and galleries. This is made possible, in part, by having a 55-foot nave unobstructed by pillars, a feat accomplished by a technique not available to the medieval architects of the original York Minster – a steel trussed roof. From the west wall to the chancel steps is 158 feet, and the crossing measures 107 feet. Features The entrance wall to the church's tower includes a piece of carved stone from York Minster cathedral. A brass plaque below the carved stone reads: This stone for more than five hundred years formed a part of one of the mullions of the clerestory windows of York Minster, the great cathedral founded at York, England, in 927 A.D., and was presented to this church by the Dean of the ancient Minster. The church's great four-manual pipe organ was donated by The Honourable Albert Edward Matthews and family. This superb organ was built by Casavant Frères of St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, and installed in 1928. Tonal revision and the addition of some new stops was carried out in 1965; two stops were added in 1971; a new console was installed in 1975. The Yorkminster Park organ is now one of the finest instruments in Canada, containing 77 stops and 5,328 pipes. In 1985 and 1988 renovation programs were begun which included necessary repairs, improvement in tonal quality, the addition of a floating trumpet stop and the capture-action electronic memory for the console.
