While our PhD student community is the largest at the University, our Masters degree cohorts are just as important a part of our studies. Congraultations to our PGT graduands, here with our program director, Dr. Katy Hockey

In 2001 I wrote this β€˜Laudatio’ for David Demson for a special issue of the Toronto Journal of Theology marking his retirement. The TJT have kindly made this open access. Those mourning David’s passing and remembering his life and work might find something in it.

The cloud of witnesses adds to their number "It is with deep sadness that we learned of the death of Professor David Demson yesterday. David was a devoted and beloved member of the faculty at Wycliffe College for nearly twenty years.

Really sad news coming out of Wycliffe College today with the passing of David Demson. Anyone who reads Barth in English (especially in North America) is greatly indebted to him. wycliffecollege.ca/about/news-m...
