Perry Francis Rockwood (March 23, 1917 – March 7, 2008) was a Canadian fundamentalist Christian minister and radio broadcaster, who founded the weekly People's Gospel Hour program in 1947 on a station in Truro, Nova Scotia. His broadcast eventually reached a worldwide audience. Rockwood also started publication of a monthly magazine, The Gospel Standard, and wrote numerous books, distributed from his organization's headquarters in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Rockwood was ordained by the Presbyterian Church in Canada in 1943, but subsequently criticized the denomination over doctrinal issues in a series of sermons preached in November 1946 at the Truro church where he was pastor. As a result, he was charged by Presbyterian officials in January 1947 with "divisive action". Rockwood's ensuing church trial resulted in front-page news stories in Canada, marked by bitter invective and his subsequent resignation when he refused demands to recant. He then formed an independent church and began his radio ministry, which continues to the present day: the People's Gospel Hour broadcast now consists of newly recorded music and spoken segments by staff, accompanied by reruns of archived sermons preached by Rockwood during his lifetime.
