Incumbent Appointed

Archbishop Greg Kerr-Wilson has announced the appointment of the Rev. Brandon Witwer as the next incumbent at All Saints Cochrane.

The official letter can be found below in the downloads section.

This is a brief introduction to the Rev. Brandon taken from his current parish's website:

Originally from central Alberta, Brandon grew up Roman Catholic, spent a decade with the Baptists in his teens and twenties, and found a permanent spiritual home in the Anglican Church while living in Belgium where he earned a MA in Church History at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.  Brandon and his wife Deanna became Anglicans while in Belgium, but before that were members of a Baptist church where Brandon served as a youth pastor and worked at summer camps.

The rootedness in tradition, the beauty of the liturgy, and the capacity for intellectual engagement with faith that are natural to the Anglican tradition drew him to pursue ordination and study for a M.Div. at Wycliffe College in Toronto.
 
Brandon is passionate about spiritual formation (his BA from Rocky Mountain College is in Christian Spirituality).  His call is to equip people to live into the fullness of life God has for them through a life of service rooted in communion with God.
