		Reverend Margaret C. Tandy Born and raised in Toronto, Margaret earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from York University and her Teaching Certificate from Toronto Teachers’ College. After teaching Elementary School in Richmond Hill for two years she moved with her family to Saskatchewan and then to Northern Ontario. On returning to Southern Ontario she attended Trinity College, U of T, where she earned her Masters of Divinity. After ordination to the diaconate in 1993 Margaret served as Assistant Curate at St. Timothy’s Church, Agincourt (Scarborough) where she was ordained priest in 1994. In 1996 she was appointed Chaplain of The Bishop Strachan School in Toronto where she served for 4 years. After a 10 month position as Interim Chaplain at Trinity College, U of T, Margaret was appointed Incumbent of the Parish of St. Mark, Port Hope in 2001. Marg is the mother of three sons, three daughters-in-law and grandmother of three.
		Reverend Canon Dr. Graham Cotter Graham Cotter was born in Jamaica, West Indies. He studied at the University of Toronto where he obtained his Ph.D. in English; Trinity College, for Divinity; and the Center For Theology & Natural Sciences -- Department of Religion & The Arts at G.T.U. in Berkeley, California. Winter 2003: lecturer in Wycliffe College lay ministry diploma program: Science and Christian Faith; at St. Peter's Church, Cobourg, ON. Graham Cotter began writing, directing and producing liturgical dramas in St Mark’s, Parkdale, St Cuthbert’s, Leaside, in Toronto; in the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Mass., and in the Church Divinity School of the Pacific, Berkeley, California. While at St Mark’s, Parkdale, he co-operated with Toronto artist Vaclav Vaca in producing the large altarpiece, The Cup of Blessing, and with the American sculptor Barbara Hughes in her work, Mark and Peter. He has also collaborated in the design of vestments and other visual artefacts. He later continued studies in religion and the arts, especially liturgical dance, at the Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, Ca. In Leaside, and later in retirement at St Mark’s, Port Hope, he produced and directed the seven dramas which are found in his book “The Mysteries at St Cuthbert’s,” 1985, and the four dramas and two other dramatic adaptations found in the book “The Cup of Blessing,” 1998. In 1994, he established the Sacred Arts Trust within the Anglican Foundation. The Sacred Arts Trust invites applications for funding from: visual and textile artists, actors, dancers, students, musicians, clergy, laity, drama and dance groups, study and training courses. Graham has also lectured in St. Peter’s Cobourg Wycliffe College Extension course in Science and Faith, has written short articles in the Cobourg and Port Hope papers, and has a science and faith study group called Graham’s Crackers. He has been honorary Assistant Priest at St Mark’s Port Hope since 1988. He and his wife Evelyn live near Warkworth, Northumberland County.
		Reverend Dr. Patrick Gray Born in Toronto, and raised in Markham, Patrick studied Philosophy and English as an undergraduate, proceeded into divinity (and was ordained in the Anglican Church), then pursued graduate work in historical theology. He has combined a life in the church, mostly as an honorary assistant in various parishes in or near which he lived, and an academic career teaching early Christian studies at the University of Toronto, McMaster, and York. Not naturally a political animal, he did organize an international peace conference that attracted, besides the expected eternal optimists, one unmistakable observer from the CIA. In private life, he has raised four excellent sons, done extensive gardening, made a good deal of surprisingly palatable wine (not including a first, disastrous experiment in his residence room), enjoyed music and literature, and — in fits and starts — has also written a small body of poetry and dabbled in oil painting. (A slim volume of his poems was published in 2009, entitled This Grace of Light. One of his paintings is on the cover.) Retired from York since July 2006, he is enjoying retirement in Port Hope with his wife Cathy Carlyle, though it is not a very retired retirement, since he assists at St. Mark’s in various ways, volunteers with Friends of Music, teaches a graduate course, supervises doctoral students, and attempts to write several scholarly books and one would-be popular book. He hopes also to travel a bit, and to write up his family’s genealogy.
		Reverend Doug Woods Doug Woods is the classic late bloomer — if you want a model for this, just read the Book of Jonah. Doug spent a lot of time on ships headed for Tarshish, starting with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and Chemistry (Bowdoin College 1964), which he then taught for two years in Ghana. After that, he went back to school, receiving a Ph.D. in Germanic Linguistics (University of Massachusetts 1975). Finally, after twenty-nine years of teaching linguistics at Scarborough College (U of T), God made him an offer he couldn’t refuse, so he went back to school and graduated with an M.Div. from Wycliffe College in 2002 — at the age of sixty! Upon ordination (May 2002), he served at St. George’s, Oshawa, then went on to churches in Harwood, Colborne, and Grafton, Ontario, before spending considerable time at St. George’s, Peterborough. Upon retirement in 2007, Doug and his wife, Joan, came back to their original church, St. Mark’s, Port Hope. He also works one or two days a week as Associate Priest in Charge of Pastoral Care at St. Luke’s, Peterborough. Doug is married to Joan, and they have three adult children, Emily, Aleks, and Peter.
