Leader Bio:
Chris was Incumbent (Pastor and Rector) of St. Peter's since August 2004 till May 2019. Born in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Chris grew up mostly in Ottawa and England. At about age 12, while living in Ottawa, Chris committed his life to Christ. Following High School he attended the University of Toronto where he did his B.A. in Political Science and Commerce.
After working for several years as a truck-body assembler and as a real estate agent, Chris did his M.Div. and Th.M. degrees at Wycliffe College, University of Toronto, including a year of studies and travel in Asia.
During his years of study and travel, Chris faced a variety of challenges to his beliefs, and for a period of time renounced his faith. Nonetheless, for a range of reasons, Chris eventually returned to Christian faith, and so he speaks of having had two conversions to Christ - his first at the age of 12, his second at age 27.
Chris was ordained in Toronto in 1989, then served as Associate Priest in two parishes in the Anglican Diocese of Toronto, after which he moved to Montreal to do his PhD in Philosophy and Religious Studies at McGill University. While studying in Montreal, Chris met Fiona Crossling, and they were married in 1995.
In 1998 Chris and Fiona moved to India (first Bangalore then Chennai) where Chris taught theology and philosophy in several institutions, and where Fiona managed an NGO in Bangalore and later a software company in Chennai. They also helped to plant a church in Bangalore. While in India they adopted their two children, Devadas and Amudha, then returned to Canada in 2004.

Teach us to serve Thee
Teach us, good Lord, to serve Thee as Thou deservest: To give and not to count the cost; To fight and not to heed the wounds; To toil and not to seek for rest; To labour and not ask for any reward, save that of knowing that we do Thy will.
