I have now been in direct contact with people at McMaster Divinity School, Ambrose Seminary, and Regent College that have actually expressed interest in participating in this study! It looks like my timing isn’t ideal, as many of them are either on vacation or sabbatical across these summer months, but I have been encouraged none-the-less by the willingness to even have a conversation about what participation might look like. The only school on my list I haven’t heard back from yet is Tyndale Seminary… I was enrolled at Tyndale and ready to start my seminary journey back in the day before receiving a job offer to teach high school science in Ottawa. I chose instead to teach for a few years to pay off some student loans (and to get married!), and ended up a few years later at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. But I’ve always felt a connection to Tyndale. I reached out to a few more people from there today, so we’ll see if anything comes of those attempts.
But if everything goes forward according to the master plan (which, of course, it ALWAYS does, right?) I will indeed have some Canadian representation in the data!
