Administrative history
Presbyteries in the United Church of Canada are courts of the Church within geographical boundaries made up of a number of Pastoral Charges. Presbytery membership consists of ordained ministers of the Charges within the Presbytery and an equal number of lay persons. A grouping of Presbyteries within a larger geographical area makes up a Conference, a higher court of the Church. The functions of the Presbytery include: overseeing Pastoral Charges within its bounds, including the designation of new Charges; receiving and disposing of petitions and appeals from lower governing bodies or courts; transmitting the above to higher bodies or courts; licensing lay persons recommended after examination; overseeing education of students looking forward to ministry and supervision of members of the Order of Ministry within its bounds. Shining Waters Presbytery was established in 2012 with the restructuring of Bay of Quinte Conference; it includes pastoral charges which were formerly part of Peterborough Presbytery. It disbanded on December 31, 2018 with the reorganization of the church court structure. Communities of faith within its boundaries became part of East Central Ontario Regional Council
