Our colleague Professor David Demson passed away on May 13, 2025. You may read the tribute penned by The Rt Rev. Dr Stephen Andrews, Principal of Wycliffe College, here and the obituary here.
Visitation will be held on Friday May 30 from 6 - 8 p.m. at Morley Bedford Funeral Home, 159 Eglinton Ave East.
His funeral will take place on Saturday May 31 at 11 a.m. in the Founders Chapel at Wycliffe College (5 Hoskin Avenue).
Dr Darren Dias, Executive Director of the Toronto School of Theology, released this statement about Professor Demson: "David began teaching at Emmanuel College in 1962 and so he was one of the founding faculty members when TST formed in 1970. After his retirement from Emmanuel in 2001 he began teaching at Wycliffe College for almost two decades. His courses on Barth and Reformation theology were greatly appreciated by students across the TST and across generations."
Please join us as we offer a prayer of thanksgiving for Professor Demson's contribution to the TST and to Wycliffe College, and for the consolation of his wife Leslie, his children and grandchildren.
