The W Standford Reid Lecture took place on Oct 1 at the Divinity College. The guest speaker was professor A. Donald MacLeod from Tyndale Theological Seminary. The Lecture is available for listening below.


A grant from the Priscilla and Stanford Reid Trust has made it possible to offer a guest lecture on the campus of a number of universities and theological schools across Canada during the next two years at no cost (other than local promotion) to the sponsoring institution.
Guest lecturer will be A. Donald MacLeod, Presbyterian minister, theological lecturer, and the former General Director of Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship of Canada.
MacLeod is the author of W. Stanford Reid: An Evangelical Calvinist in the Academy ( McGill -- Queen's University press, 2004, repr. 2005).
Professor Stanford Reid was an influential figure in the life of both the academy and the Church in Canada during the second half of the 20th century. First at McGill University, where he taught history and served as an administrator for 24 years, and then at the University of Guelph, where he founded a history department, developed a large graduate program, and created a Scottish Studies Centre. Reid brought together the worlds of university, church, and society in a remarkable way.
The ideas of 'the integration of faith and learning" and 'marketplace Christianity' seem to be of recent origin, but we find Reid using these terms more than 50 years ago and living out his faith in the academy.
MacLeod's lecture on the life and work of W. Stanford Reid will seek to analyze one dedicated to individual's effective impact on the Canadian university and church of his time and to stimulate discussion from lessons that can be drawn from Reid's life for contemporary theological engagement that has both personal and cultural relevance.
