- Methodist_Rome abstract "Methodist Rome was a nickname sometimes given to the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The moniker implied that Toronto was as central to Canadian Methodism as Rome, or more specifically Vatican City in Rome, is to Catholicism.During the 19th century Toronto had one of the largest (if not the largest) population of Methodists in the world. Methodism played a very important role in the culture and political affairs of Toronto, greatly shaping its character. Toronto became known for being very puritanical with strict limits on the sale of alcohol and a rigorous enforcement of the Lord's Day Act. Peter C. Newman has described Toronto in this period "a sort of Calvinist Tehran." The city was disparaged by outsiders as "Toronto the Good".The name began to fade in the early twentieth century, especially after the Methodist Church in Canada merged with Presbyterians and Congregationalists to form the United Church of Canada in 1925. An influx of immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe after the Second World War greatly altered the religious balance. The Methodist heritage is still in evidence, though, as Toronto has some of the strictest liquor laws in North America.[citation needed]".
