Roman Catholic Bishop to be honoured at Founders' Day in the spirit of ecumenism

You can watch the Founders' Day ceremony LIVE right here on our homepage. Just tune in on Saturday, April 26 at around 3:00 pm. 

Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas David Dowd will be named an Honorary Senior Fellow on Founders' Day, a move that highlights Christian unity and cooperation; a passion for which Bishop Dowd, former Chairman of the Canadian Centre for Ecumenism, is well known. Renison, which was founded by the Anglican community, will bestow the fellowship at their 55th Founders’ Day celebration Saturday, April 26, 2014. The celebration commemorates both the efforts of the founders to build the college and the founding of Renison itself.

“We are very excited to have Bishop Thomas Dowd with us on Founders’ Day,” says Dr. Glenn Cartwright, Principal and Vice-chancellor of Renison.  “He has been a long standing proponent and a tireless worker in the cause of ecumenism. It is highly appropriate that a college like Renison, whose motto is “One sky over all,” recognize his valuable contribution.”
