Christian Press, a non-funded agency of the Canadian conference, changed its name to CP Printing Solutions in January. The name change reflects a transition from CP as an internal operating department to a standalone company under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Conference of MB Churches. Purchased by CCMBC in the 1960s in order to publish the Herald, CP now provides many services outside the MB conference.
