New clergy for Hudson Bay and Arborfield

The people Hudson Bay and Arborfield will be getting not one but two young clergy when Julie Golding Page and her husband Steve begin work there on August 8.

Native to rural New Brunswick, the Pages will move from the University of Toronto where they have been studying.

In addition to an enthusiastic faith in Christ and great people-skills, they bring to the Mission gifts in youth ministry, music, pastoral work, teaching, cross-cultural mission, and group leadership.

The Pages both graduated with Masters degrees in Theology from Wycliffe College, Toronto, last weekend, and at that ceremony each was rewarded with a number academic prizes.  Both Mr. & Mrs. Page have a previous graduate theological degree – in Christian Studies—from Regent College in Vancouver. Mr. Page also holds Masters and Bachelors degrees in Computer Science, while Mrs. Golding Page is a Bachelor of Business Administration. Both are fluently bilingual in French and have held a number of challenging jobs in the Maritimes. Mrs. Golding Page has worked and taught in the St. John business community and at a community college. Mr. Page has worked as a software developer and as a lecturer at the University of New Brunswick.

They are keen film-buffs and dog lovers. Also moving to Rectory in Hudson Bay will be their Welsh Terrier, Gryffin.

God willing they will be ordained to the Deaconate and Inducted to the Mission by the Bishop of Saskatchewan on the Feast of St. Bartholomew the Apostle, August 24, 2007 at 7 p.m. at the Church of the Ascension, Arborfield.  All are welcome.
