Politics and Religion: The Faith of God’s People, The Gospel, and Anglican Interpretation by Kyle Michael Bradley Wagner A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Trinity College and the Toronto School of Theology. In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry awarded by Trinity College and The University of Toronto. © Copyright by Kyle Michael Bradley Wagner 2020 Politics and Religion: The Faith of God’s People, The Gospel, and Anglican Interpretation Kyle Michael Bradley Wagner Doctor of Ministry Trinity College and the University of Toronto 2020 Abstract This thesis examines the nature of religion and politics in the lives of Canadian Anglicans. As a phenomenological study, the collective voices of Anglicans in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia were gathered and analyzed. The research identifies how some Anglicans engage the world and their understanding of the scripture. The scope of this study included interviews and a questionnaire with twelve anonymous Anglicans and provided essential insight into the lives of Anglicans in Canada at a local level and therefore is something that the broader church should consider. ii Autobiographical Statement Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and raised in Bedeque, Prince Edward Island, the Rev. Kyle Wagner is an Anglican priest in the Diocese of Nova Scotia and PEI. From a young age, Rev. Wagner had an interest in politics, serving as a page in the Prince Edward Island Legislature. He also worked as an assistant to former island Premier and Senator Catherine Callbeck. Rev. Wagner is an advocate of social justice and encourages the church to speak publicly on issues of social justice. A graduate of Mount Allison University, Sackville New Brunswick, with a Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Science, and the Atlantic School of Theology, Halifax with a Master of Divinity, Rev. Wagner, has a lifelong joy for learning. At the time of completion of this thesis, Rev. Wagner was Rector of Christ Church, Dartmouth, a large historic downtown church. He is also a sessional lecturer at the Atlantic School of Theology. iii Dedication For you Dad. iv Acknowledgments This body of research could not have been possible without the support of many. First, I would like to thank the Anglican Church of Canada, and specifically the Anglican Foundation of Canada, who graciously supported me with funding along this journey. Thank you to the University of King’s College, Halifax, NS, for its scholarship funding and Trinity College, the University of Toronto, for helping the research come to fruition. I wish to thank the Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, and Archbishop Ron Cutler for his encouragement. Thank you to Bishop Sue Moxley for guiding me on this path. The Parish of Seaforth, Eastern Shore, Nova Scotia, began this journey with me, and the Parish of Christ Church, Dartmouth, became home to this inquiry. Thank you to the people of the parish, and the wardens: Jim Graham, Marg Seaman, John Gallant, Christine Hoehne, and Steve Smith. I also give thanks for Nan Nicholls, the Chair of the Historical Committee, who dedicated time to the archives, ensuring that I would capture the spirit of Christ Church and its history. Sincere appreciation goes to all the clergy and academics who supported me along the way: The Rev. Canon Dr. Paul Friesian, The Rev. Dr. Rob Fennell, The Rev. Sarah Chapman, The Rev. Trevor Lightfoot, and the Rev. John Perkin. Your vigils were appreciated! To the Rev. Canon Dr. Jody Clarke or “Jody,” thank you for your friendship, your guidance, and your ability to challenge me. With you by my side, this work was able to say something to the church. To my godfather, Archbishop Fred Hiltz, you have set an example for many, and I am just one who seeks to model your ministry and pastoral voice in our beloved church. Your support for me as a child, later with my call to ordained ministry, and the love you, Lynn (Godmother), and Nathan have shown Mom and me over the years touches my heart. To the faculty of the Toronto School of Theology (TST), particularly Dr. Ephraim Radner, who has the substance of genius in political matters and the church, and Father Joseph Schner, who was gentle in his tutoring, thank you for your time and patience. My supervisor, Professor David Neelands, who is an academic, and pastor and a man of great character, wit and humour, your support and guidance have seen this body of work to completion. Thank you for the gift of friendship. v To my mother-and-father-in-law, my sister-in-law, thank you for supporting Julie and me through this endeavour. The countless hours spent babysitting; well, I can only imagine. Mom, you are my model for ministry. The love and kindness you have shown me throughout my life are like God’s grace.

  • Listening to God and the Missio Dei

    Listening to God and the Missio Dei

    Listening to God and the missio Dei By Murray Harold Olson B.Sc, B.Theol A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Divinity Date 12 February, 2016 1 ABSTRACT The early church was a church of mission; incarnational mission. This changed when the church entered into the Christendom era and church membership grew by birth, rather than by conversion, so there was no need for mission. The decline of numbers attending church services in recent years forced the church to look at mission and a number of church-centred models have developed. But in recent years there has been an awareness that mission is not the mission of the church. It is the missio Dei, the mission of God. In this thesis I have outlined the evolution of the concept of the missio Dei and its importance to the church. I have also given some examples of the way that the missio Dei has been put into action and the importance of listening to God when you are involved in it. This listening to God involves listening, individually and as a church, to God using prayer and Scripture. It also involves listening to God in the lives of the people in our neighbourhoods. This is because God is active in our neighbourhoods and we can join in this activity of God. 2 STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY I hereby certify that this thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any degree or diploma in any university or other institution and affirm to the best of my knowledge, that this thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference in made in the text of the thesis.

    T. F. Torrance As Missional Theologian by Joseph H

    Taken from T. F. Torrance as Missional Theologian by Joseph H. Sherrard. Copyright © 2021 by Joseph H. Sherrard VI. Published by InterVarsity Press, Downers Grove, IL. www.ivpress.com 1 Dualism and the Doctrine of God T. F. Torrance’s Trinitarian Theology and the Gospel Within Western Culture The Missio Dei and the Doctrine of God In our introduction we noted the recent appearance of a number of argu- ments for the fundamental importance of the category of mission within the discipline of systematic theology. These attempts are often gathered under a single descriptive heading: missio Dei. This term and the conceptual framework attached to it, often (apparently erroneously) traced back to Karl Barth,1 describes the fundamental conviction that unites all these recent projects. In Transforming Mission, a foundational text for both strands of biblical and theological reflection upon mission, David Bosch describes the conviction in this way: “Mission was understood as being derived from the very nature of God. It was thus put in the context of the doctrine of the Trinity, not of ecclesiology or soteriology. As far as missionary thinking was concerned, this linking with the doctrine of the Trinity constituted an important innovation.”2 1See John G. Flett’s helpful historical study of the term missio Dei in chapters three and four of his The Witness of God: The Trinity,Missio Dei, Karl Barth, and the Nature of Christian Community (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 2010). Flett argues that while Barth is an important contributor to the church’s reflection on its mission, the specific term missio Dei was neither used nor defined by Barth.

    “As the Father Has Sent Me, Even So I Am Sending You”: the Divine Missions and the Mission of the Church

    JETS 63.3 (2020): 535–58 “AS THE FATHER HAS SENT ME, EVEN SO I AM SENDING YOU”: THE DIVINE MISSIONS AND THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH TOREY TEER* Abstract: Presentations advancing an ecclesiology that favors the church’s ontology before its function have become more common in recent years. Further, mission models employing a Trini- tarian framework (viz., the missio Dei) have likewise become popular in contemporary conver- sation. This project explores the implications of the divine missions—of the Son and of the Spirit—upon the mission of the church while also drawing out some pneumatological emphases vis-à-vis ecclesiology. Specifically, I present a biblical-theological synthesis of the divine missions grounded upon Johannine language of “sending,” framed by Thomas Aquinas’s conception of the divine missions, and augmented by John Calvin’s notion of the “double grace” conferred via union with Christ. I then apply this synthesis to the mission of the church, showing that the church participates—analogically—in the Trinitarian agency carried out in the missio Dei. In so doing, I offer a unique line of reasoning that further supports the church’s ontology before its function as well as a Trinitarian framework for missions. Key words: pneumatology, ecclesiology, missio Dei, Trinitarianism, Johannine theology, Thomistic theology When the concept of “missions” comes up in biblical, theological, or ecclesial discourse, it typically takes one of two forms: the Great Commission (Matt 28:18– 20) or the missio Dei—though thE two arE not mutually ExclusivE. ThE formEr typi- cally refers to the work of the church to bring the gospel to unreached people groups around the world (often called “church missions”), while the latter rEfers to the triunE God’s redemptive mission to the world in which hE graciously allows the church to participate.
