Our Faculty, like our entire Administration, are devout Christians of many denominations, already including Anglican, Baptist, Eastern Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, United Church, etc.
Students are taught by senior Christian academics with many years of teaching and learning behind them and also by dedicated younger faculty.
Because
Augustine College is a small, private, not-for-profit college that
operates without government support, it operates on a shoe-string
budget. As a result, our professors are not salaried academics building
careers but teachers who teach because they love teaching, out of a
deep commitment to the ideals of an education worthy of that name.

He has also contributed to McGraw-Hill high-school textbooks. He was
born and raised in Ottawa and with his wife Kristene has two children:
Benjamin and Mary. An encounter 'late in life' with Lewis, Chesterton,
Buechner, and Dillard ("These writers have been my mentors") has
prompted him to teach literature from a 'mentorship' standpoint, via
student interaction. His hope is that students will find points of
reckoning in their own faith by reading the works that are studied.
