Conference hosts are a partnership of the Faculty of Divinity of Trinity College and Wycliffe College (in the University of Toronto) and the Canadian Church Historical Society (a co-operator with the General Synod Archives of the Anglican Church of Canada). As two of the most important hubs of theological education and training for ministry in Canada, members of the ecumenical Toronto School of Theology, Trinity and Wycliffe represent the breadth of the Anglican tradition, an ideal location for welcoming friends and colleagues from United States of America, and beyond. 

Papers & Presentations

Papers and presentations focus on the Anglican/Episcopal tradition responding to historical experiences of traumas from the Reformation to the present. A list of those accepted to be presented are available here.

Conference organizers endeavor to connect conference delegates with specialist research agendas to sites, repositories, or institutions of relevant interest. Where customization of the experience of attendance can be achieved, organizers deem this desirable.

Joint Planning Committee

The Joint Planning Committee makes the conference go and work towards honoring all sponsoring organizations with a program reflecting the common areas and various goals of each; providing a setting for introduction of new scholarship on a given topic area; and providing an (inter-)national conference with (inter-)national focus while providing for a regional flavor.
