Johnson comes to Wycliffe after having served as dean and vice president of academic affairs at Western Theological Seminary in Holland, Michigan. The changing face of theological educationSchools like Wycliffe are seeing a change in the type of education and school experience students are seeking, Johnson says. Historically, it has been normal for students to move to Toronto, attend Wycliffe full-time and work towards a degree in theology and often ordination, she says. Theological schools exist to serve the church, she says, and she believes they need to do so visibly so regular Anglicans can see their value. Asked what qualities she believes Wycliffe graduates need in order to meet the needs of the church today, Johnson returns to the metaphor of trees.
