Bequest Received for the C. Douglas Jay Scholarship Fund [1]

The Toronto School of Theology is pleased to announce that a generous bequest has been received from the Estate of C. Douglas Jay for the C. Douglas Jay Scholarship endowment fund. The scholarship was established by the TST Board of Trustees in 1981 in honour of TST’s founding Director, Rev. Dr. C. Douglas Jay. Dr. Jay passed away on January 1, 2021, at the age of 95. He was also emeritus principal of TST's member school, Emmanuel College.

The prestigious C. Douglas Jay Scholarship is awarded annually each spring to a TST graduate degree student studying in the area of Christian social ethics, philosophical theology, philosophy of religion, or psychology of religion. Scholarship applications are evaluated based on academic excellence and financial need.

On behalf of the Toronto School of Theology Board of Trustees, the Advisory Search Committee invites applications for the position of Executive Director. The appointment is for a five-year term (with possible renewal) commencing July 1, 2022.

Reporting to the Board of Trustees, the Executive Director is the Chief Executive and Administrative Officer of the Toronto School of Theology (TST) and a member of the graduate Faculty. Positioned at the heart of TST’s web of interdenominational, intergenerational and interinstitutional relationships, and in cooperation with the heads of the member schools, the Executive Director leads the TST community in the pursuit and development of its ecumenical mission, its dedication to cooperation in academic endeavour, its commitment to excellence in theological inquiry, education, and formation, and its engagement with the University of Toronto.
