Postulant Bryan Kenwell working
Bryan Kenwell was born and raised in the Blue Mountains area of Ontario, on the southern shores of Georgian Bay.
He moved to Nova Scotia to attend Acadia University for three years and then moved home to help care for his mother when she became ill. At that time, he transferred to Tyndale University.
Kenwell says, “I came to the Anglican tradition from the Presbyterian Church and began my MDiv at Huron University College as I continued to discern a call to the priesthood.
“Last summer, I came to the Diocese of Qu’Appelle for a student ministry position at Swift Current. While there, I fell in love with the people and environment and was accepted into the diocese as a postulant in December.”
He will finish the final year of his MDiv online, while providing support ministry in St. Michael and All Angels, Beechy, and St. Paul, Kyle. Kenwell concludes, “I look forward to seeing what God has in store here.”
