The CSPH Executive is pleased to announce that Stacey Mortson has been awarded as the 2022 Dr. Mel Bailey Bursary.
Stacey is a fourth year student in the Summer Distance Program at Atlantic School of Theology. She is completing her Supervised Ministry Experience at Trinity Centennial United Church in Rosemont, Ontario. Being a seminarian is how she is enjoying her “second act” after having been a CPA CMA in the hospital world for many years.
Originally from Englehart, then Pembroke for 30 years, she now lives in Alliston, ON. Besides being busy with studies and congregational work, Stacey and her husband, Rob Montminy, are very much embracing their new roles as Grandparents to Liam.
We will look forward to hearing her Paper, “The Women’s Missionary Society as a ‘New Culture’.”
