Tyndale University College & Seminary. “Seminary Spring 2010 Graduation.” (2010) TYNDALE Seminary Saturday, May 8, 2010 10:00 a.m. The Chapel, St. Joseph’s Motherhouse, Morrow Park 3377 Bayview Avenue Toronto, Ontario THE HISTORY Tyndale University College & Seminary was founded in 1894 as the Toronto Bible Training School. Later known as Toronto Bible College, it merged with London Bible Institute (established in 1935 and later known as London College of Bible and Missions) in 1968 to become Ontario Bible College. The Seminary was established in 1976. In 1998, the name Tyndale was assumed, honouring the heritage of the Father of the English Bible, William Tyndale (1494-1536). Tyndale was an English reformer who studied and translated the Scriptures with a passion for the Christian faith and a willingness to follow God no matter the cost. He is a model for scholarship, faith, and vision. In 2003, Tyndale was accorded university college status by the provincial government. In 2007, Tyndale received approval from the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities and from the Ontario College of Teachers to offer a Bachelor of Education program. The Seminary programs are accredited by The Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada (ATS). In 2007, Tyndale purchased the Morrow Park property from the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto. Tyndale is an evangelical, transdenominational school with over 1,200 students and more than 9,000 alumni. THE CREST The crest of Tyndale University College & Seminary displays the school colours—blue and burgundy—and the Greek motto douloi Cristou— which describes the school’s vision for all students, faculty, staff, and alumni to be servants of Christ. The lantern is symbolic of Psalm 119:105: Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. THE MISSION Tyndale is dedicated to the pursuit of truth, to excellence in teaching, learning and research, for the enriching of mind, heart and character, to serve the church and the world for the glory of God. During the service, kindly turn off all electronic devices and keep aisles clear.

She is an ordained minister with a background in social work and cross-cultural missions. A founding member of the Philip Aziz Centre, Rev. Salminen presently serves as its Executive Director. The Philip Aziz Centre is a community-based hospice program that provides practical, emotional and spiritual support to persons living with AIDS, cancer and other life-threatening illnesses, in the comfort of their own home. Much of her hospice work involves research, community networking and consultation, program development, recruitment and training of staff and volunteers, pastoral and spiritual care, AIDS and hospice education among the faith community, and most recently, establishing a residential pediatric hospice in Toronto. Rev. Salminen believes that the greatest expression of our love for God is unconditionally loving our neighbour. “We may differ in culture, ethnicity, values, beliefs, faith, giftings, social/economic status, gender, education and geography, but we are similar in our universal desire to be loved, accepted, belong and know our lives have significance, purpose and value. To be loved and to share love is at the core of our humanity and the yearning of every heart.” 10 GRADUATING STUDENT SPEAKER TODD MANUEL, MDIV, IN-MINISTRY After graduating from Eastern Pentecostal Bible College in 1985, Todd Manuel joined the pastoral staff of Bethel Pentecostal Church, Sarnia, Ontario as Pastor of Youth and Young Adults.

Manuel is married to Ruth and this year they will celebrate their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary and twenty-five years in pastoral ministry.
