Spring Convocations at the Toronto School of Theology

Today, March 25, 2020, the University of Toronto announced that its June convocation ceremonies will be postponed. Read the message from President Merc Gertler here. Likewise, all May convocation ceremonies at the Toronto School of Theology (TST) will be postponed.

At TST, we share the disappointment expressed in President Gertler’s letter, and want to assure our students that those who complete their degree requirements on time will still graduate and receive their degrees and parchments, when they become available.

A message to the TST Community from Pamela Couture, Director, Toronto School of Theology

March 13, 2020

We are in an unprecedented time: COVID-19 reports change daily. We are anxious about ourselves, our loved ones and friends near and far who may be exposed to the virus. We are concerned about highly vulnerable populations, the homeless, persons in institutions, person with compromised immune systems. We worry about people stranded in different parts of the world. The list of concerns grows daily. For this moment of time, let us meditate, pray, and take strength from the Christian Lenten journey and the spiritual resources of other religions about which we teach and speak in our classrooms.

At TST and it’s seven member schools we are practicing “social distancing” so that we will reduce the chance that we will become part of the chain of transmission of COVID-2019. Meeting that goal is difficult, with many complexities for many people related to TST. No one size fits all. But decisions have been made concerning classes.
