Welcome John Borthwick

Centre for Lifelong Learning at Knox College

We would like to welcome John Borthwick, our newest professional member at CAUCE!

On August 1, 2023, John Borthwick was appointed the Director of the Centre for Lifelong Learning at Knox College, Toronto. 

In this role, John will have overall responsibility for the development and operation of the Lifelong Learning program. Lifelong Learning is an exciting new program that is focused on meeting the needs of the church community and will be available to ministers and lay leaders across Canada in the coming months.

John is a graduate of Knox College and brings 25 years of experience in ministry and church leadership to his new role. He has been actively involved in his community in a number of areas including service as a police chaplain, and has been recognized with community leadership awards at both the federal and local levels. In 2021, John launched The Abbey – an innovative virtual ministry focused on leadership topics including mental health, conflict management, lay leadership development, and the role of leaders in congregational renewal. Many of the elements in The Abbey will be incorporated into the Lifelong Learning program at Knox College, and we look forward to John’s vision and passion in leading this new program.
