Some Things Change and Some Things Stay the Same

It is a chance to visit the Ballyconnor campus for the last time and to introduce yourself to the new Bayview In the Anniversary Special of this edition, I mention that we “stand on campus and its possibilities. What I think you will the shoulders of those who have gone before us.” I must confess to discover, however, is that it will be an opportunity a deeper appreciation of what that really means through my travels to see that “everything old is new again.” around Canada and the world meeting with Tyndale alumni. It is Come discover that whatever fuelled and incredible to realize that Tyndale graduates are everywhere doing an shaped previous generations of students at amazingly diverse number of things. Tyndale still fuels and shapes students today. You will hear of the kind of vocations that graduates from years The same faith brings students here. The same gone by have entered. You will hear stories of impact and faithful- passionate desire to make a difference in the ness. You may be surprised to learn that the idea of transforming the world motivates them. You will recognize it. It Bible college into an undergraduate university finds its roots in the is the passionate desire to be what Jesus called 1960s at the London College of Bible and Missions. Later, the dream “the salt and light in the world” and the will to to develop a graduate theological seminary that took the church carry it through. and its mission seriously both in Canada and around the world, bore fruit. No one could have anticipated what has since taken place. Tyndale Seminary has become the largest graduate school of theology in Canada. Its over 700 students are a mix of global cultures, and their vision and passion for faithful witness is unbelievable. The Seminary’s reach through its diploma programs and online education extends its impact around the world. Did you know that students are enrolled in an online Tyndale course from over nine Canadian provinces, the United States and 26 other countries? Our multicultural nature was illustrated in a recent class I taught, where 16 of the 20 students traced their birthplaces to somewhere other than Canada. Not all of those students are going into pastoral ministry. Some are venturing out into roles in spiritual formation, international development and counselling. Others are simply returning to their professions of law or business, with the express desire to learn to navigate faithfully in those places to which they believe God has called them. Students study for a variety of reasons at Tyndale Seminary. The student body’s ethnic and denominational diversity makes it a fascinating place to be. You can feel this in the Seminary Lounge on a daily and nightly basis. I have come to realize that it is all in our institutional DNA. I have observed young undergraduate students interact with graduates from LCBM and OBC at alumni events. The animated and intensely faithful conversations across generational boundaries are a marvel to behold. One graduate from LCBM from the 1950s said to me after

120th Anniversary Special 1 P ast Meets Present: A Community across Time

In 1968, the London College of Bible and Missions (LCBM) merged with the Toronto Bible College (TBC) on Spadina Road to form the Ontario Bible College (OBC). Representing OBC’s student body as student council co-presidents were Lance Johnson [LCBM/OBC 1969] and Paul Hope [TBC/OBC 1969]. This historic merger saw one school experience a geographical relocation and the other an expansion of its student and faculty bodies. In 2014, as Tyndale University College & Seminary moves to 3377 Bayview Avenue, Arleen Gomez [MDiv 2015] is the seminary student council president, and Zach Edwards [BA 2014] is the university student council president. The editor and staff writer of Tyndale Magazine sat down with the student council presidents of 1968 and 2014 to get their insights about leading the university and seminary student bodies in a year of transition and what the move to Bayview signifies.

120th Anniversary Special 3 1968

How did your call to student leadership come about?

Paul: “The year of the merger (his senior year) was my third year as a student leader, and that’s when I was elected student council president of TBC. So I went into the merger with some previous experience in student leadership and felt God had equipped me to lead the student body in its year of transition.”

“The transition for TBC was Paul much less shocking for us than it was for the students at LCBM. Really, the only change for us meant an expanded student body and an expanded faculty. There was perhaps a bit of apprehension, but the decisions were not nearly as difficult as what LCBM had to make.”

What does it mean to you that Tyndale is moving to Bayview?

Paul: “The fact of being located right on Bayview gives you a great opportunity because people are going to be driving by here every day – I think I heard around 85,000 cars. It would be great to have a sign that displays a computerized message to get them thinking about who and what Tyndale is. Tyndale would be more visible in the community, with more potential for impact.”

“In the spring of my sophomore year, I Lance: “With the expansion of Tyndale’s available space at Lance ran for student council president and Bayview, this means more lives influenced for kingdom lost the election. Then in my junior year, I ran again, and impact. I think Tyndale has grown significantly from the that’s when I became student council president at LCBM.

But the majority of us got over that.” Treat people with respect regardless of age or experience.”

4 Tyndale Magazine | tyndale.ca/magazine How has Tyndale shaped you to go out and change the world?

Zach: “Studying business at Tyndale is unique compared to other universities. Most impor- tantly, when you study business at a Christian university like Tyndale, you aren’t only looking how to do business well, but how to do business right. This has shaped me the most.”

“Tyndale has chiselled Arleen out my character and calling. In undergrad, I was really quiet and introverted. Experiencing the transformational community here and being able to be myself at Tyndale has revived the (extroverted and rela- tional) person God created me to be. I now feel God is calling me as a future counsellor to help people trapped in sexual addictions.”

What does it mean to you to be student council president(s) in this year of transition?

Arleen: “Transition is never easy. This year, the 2014 seminary student council chose Isaiah 43:19 as our theme verse. Given the context of the passage, we felt that God is speaking to us in this transition the same way He was speaking to the Israelites: ‘See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the waste- land.’ No change is comfortable, but this passage What brought you to Tyndale? reminds us that God is with us as we venture into the amazing, yet unknown, future God has for us at Bayview.” ARLEEN: “I have always had a passion for under- standing God and people. So, naturally, I was Zach: “The reason that I decided to put my name up for president was drawn to theology and counselling. These because of the unique opportunity that this year presented. We were passions led me here.

6 Tyndale Magazine | tyndale.ca/magazine Ruth Harrison Connected

The graduation of the class of 1952 of the Toronto Bible College (TBC) was held at the University of Toronto’s Varsity Stadium. While the TBC student choir was singing, the 70 graduates marched from the two corners at the back of the stadium, met in the centre aisle, then separated again, and went to the stage. The women wore long white dresses, most with sleeves, and the men wore dark suits with white shirts. That formality of dress was seen in the everyday life of the school. Ruth Harrison (Diploma 1952) remembers wearing dresses or skirts and blouses to class. “No slacks,” says Ruth. “I didn’t even own a pair of slacks. Now I don’t own much else.” There were no t-shirts, sweatpants, or hoodies in class, but there are similarities between then and now. TBC, which was located at 16 Spadina Road, offered a three-year program in general studies. “It wasn’t specific like today,” says Ruth, but scripture was still the central focus of all learning. Everyone, no matter what year they were in, was present for the Bible class taught first thing every morning. Ruth 1894 particularly remembers the teaching of Dr. John McNicol, president emeritus.

Many of the female students worked as “domestics” in homes in the area around the school.

The next year she Toronto Bible College (TBC). moved into a place where she had her own bathroom – “a treat,” she says. Ruth got married the same year she graduated and had three girls. Once her girls were old enough, Ruth went back to school to train as a secretary, and her last position was as an executive secretary to one of the deans at George Brown College. During her time at TBC, Ruth’s knowledge of scripture increased, and her relationship with God grew. This gave her the tools and courage to participate in church work, especially in ministries with women and children. Ruth is still involved in her church. Ruth wrote the class of ’52 newsletters for 25 years and was happy to see a 1920s number of her classmates at a recent reunion. “It’s nice to know I’m connected The annual graduation with Tyndale – didn’t think I was for a while, but since Rob (Patterson, Director held at the University of of Alumni) has been there, that’s been a nice connection.” Toronto’s Varsity Arena Ruth has nothing but good wishes for the school.

BOB MORRIS R eason for Existence

“I graduated from Tyndale (LCBM) with two things indelibly burned into my soul. One was the authority of the Scriptures, and the other was the Lordship of Jesus Christ.” These two truths have guided Dr. Bob Morris [BTh 1966, Hon. DD 2011] ever since he graduated over 30 years ago. What attracted him to Tyndale was his appreciation of its strong balance between faith and academics. “Even back then, it wasn’t a Bible college, it was a liberal arts college striving for official recognition.” Tyndale’s “ethos” has always been strongly set on “being in the world.” When Tyndale was granted the official University College designa-

Who could ignore the family heritage connection? Dave did not start his university education at OBC; he was running away from God when he spent two years studying at McMaster Univer- sity. After that unsuccessful attempt, Dave came to what was then OBC. He chose OBC because it continued to have a good reputation in the evangelical world and he wanted to be challenged. “I was needing to personalize my faith, and I felt the interdenominational context would expose me to some discomfort and challenge me in the areas needed. I was right,” said Dave. He entered the Bachelor of Religious Education (BRE) program in pastoral studies never thinking he would use his degree in the pastorate. Now Dave is the Director of Church Care Ministries at West Dave Roberts Highland Baptist Church in Hamilton. “I was needing to personalize my faith, and I felt the interdenominational context would expose me to some discomfort and challenge me in the areas needed. I was right.”

It has been a wonderful, unexpected, circuitous journey. “The year as a Resident Advisor was highly formative for me in terms of ministry philosophy,” says Dave. “There was pushback from dependence to interdependence, a philosophy of leadership development that I experienced as a student and then on staff.” Dave joined the community life staff, doing student recruitment, during his last year as a student, in 1984. Then he and his wife Sandy were hired as resident directors and stayed on until 1988. Accommodations were already being made for students who wanted to attend classes and not live on campus. Dave and Sandy were challenged by two guest speakers at OBC. As their God-given dissatisfaction with the status quo in Canada increased, they started speaking with different mission organizations and moved to Zambia. They spent the majority of their first term at the grassroots level of church work before working at the local Bible college. They discovered that there was one trained pastor for every 23 churches in Zambia. It became obvious that non-academic, oral- based lay leadership development was actually the greatest need for their ministry partner, the Evangelical Church in Zambia. The program they helped develop became a national program that now serves over 800 churches. When they returned to Canada in 2002, Dave was approached by Dr. Bob Morris, who was directing the Tyndale Intercultural Ministries (TIM) Centre at the time, about the possibility of a missions mentor role on Tyndale’s student life team, a role Dave eventually stepped

audley goulbourne Journey to Manhood

Audley Goulbourne [BTh 1980, MTS 1996] fears he attended OBC under false pretenses. At 19 years of age, Audley heard about Ontario Bible College (OBC) in Jamaica, where he was born and raised. At that time, OBC offered a bursary for students who intended to return to their homeland. “I still feel bad about that,” says Audley, who never did return to minister in Jamaica. Instead, Audley became the pastor of Lisle Memorial Baptist Church in the Jane and Finch area of Toronto. However, he never intended to be a pastor. He came to OBC to gain experience working with youth and had hoped to return to Jamaica to teach reli- gion in schools and minister as a lay person in a church. “I have a Audley started his studies at OBC in 1975 while it was still at 16 Spadina Road. During his second year, the school moved to different 25 Ballyconnor Court, where he lived on campus. “It was the suburbs compared to downtown,” says Audley, “it was definitely ‘out there’ and not as accessible.” This was a big change in the life of the school, as was sense now the relaxing of certain rules, such as boys being able to visit the girls’ floors, and it resulted, in Audley’s mind, in a less close-knit commu- of Canada nity. However, it was this community that elected Las Newman as the first Jamaican to be student council president during Audley’s first being a year. “He was the Barack Obama of his time,” says Audley, who was elected to the same position during his last year at OBC. In 1980, Audley was involved in youth ministry when he heard mission about Lisle Memorial Baptist Church during a chapel service at OBC.

Restore,” and giving was instant and generous, sufficient for the fall start up. Early in our sojourn – in the fall of 1996 – struggling with an enormous loss of enrollment at the college, while driving north on Bayview, we passed the campus of the Sisters of St. Joseph. Lily, my wife, turned and pointed to the eye-catching setting and said, “Brian, someday the Lord will give that to us.” It was at that moment that a new vision for the OBC/OTS was born. Through each year we sought and achieved a fiscal surplus. Operational debt was rejected as an operating principle. And it worked. With a challenge to rid ourselves of debt, we launched a fundraising drive. Within a few years, the debt was gone, freeing all income to be dedi- cated to creating a viable university and seminary. In our tenure together, Archie McLean and I agreed that even though the provincial government did not allow private colleges to become universities, we would work towards that, trusting the Lord to open doors. And He did. With a government favourable to private institutions, on June 23, 2003, the provincial legislature passed a private member’s bill giving us university status. Earl Davey, Ruth Whitt and I sat in the visitors’ gallery watching the proceedings. As the MPPs voted for our new status, they stood, turned towards us and applauded.

Happy Birthday Tyndale University College

This spring, the largest student body in the history of Tyndale University College will graduate. Tyndale’s undergraduate university will witness students graduating with Bachelor of Arts degrees in Business, English, Psychology, Human Services, Philosophy and Biblical and Theological Studies. Others will receive a Bachelor of Education degree or a focused undergraduate ministry degree. In all, over 125 students will walk across the stage to receive their degrees and be launched into a variety of professions and graduate studies. Dr. Gary Nelson The same number will graduate from Tyndale Seminary.

120th Anniversary Special 17 Tyndale University College was born in 2003. It emerged out of a clear need for a Christian undergraduate university in the heart of one of the most diverse cities in Canada – Toronto. The Ontario Legislature decided that Tyndale would be a part of the pluralism of options offered to Ontario students seeking an undergraduate university education. It was an opportunity of enormous implications and possibilities. Ten years of financial commitment to program development culminates this year in the largest graduation class. Combined with our long anticipated move to the newly renovated Bayview campus in the summer of 2014, we are on the verge of enormous promise and growth. Our vision is to provide quality undergraduate education to students who want to learn how to think critically and enter community life – an educational experience that will shape their characters and take their Christian faith seriously. Our vision is to launch graduates who can thrive in the workplace, graduate schools and professions of service and ministry because of the foundations they have built at Tyndale.

Our focus is to create an undergraduate university education experience that: • Is broad in its scope – Our framework of courses acknowledges the fact that skills of critical thinking learned in disciplines, such as Philosophy and Theological studies, produce a different kind of business student or social worker. Psychology students exposed to historical studies or English form broader skills of writing and discernment. • Provides the focus of faculty on teaching and student interaction – At Tyndale, our faculty focuses on students and on teaching while still producing remarkable research in their disciplines. Many faculty members mentor students by coming alongside them during their academic and professional careers. 2012 • Ias est blished on community – The transformative power of community life in a school such as Tyndale is remarkable. Tyndale is smaller in size compared with the larger public universities, so the interactions among staff, faculty, and students stand out. An educational environment that is more intimate and personal has amazing influence and transformative possibilities. • Is affirming of faith – The power of the Christian faith is its invita- tion to ask questions and make the same intellectual inquiry that a university education offers.
