SPRING
CONVOCATION 2021
The Coat of Arms of Crandall University The design closely follows that of the arms used by Crandall University’s predecessor body, Atlantic Baptist College (later Atlantic Baptist University) for the past 40 years. The cross at the centre of the shield refers to the centrality of the cross in the mission and history of the institution since its founding in 1949. The cross was foundational in the teachings of the Reverend Joseph Crandall (1771-1858), a pioneering figure in the Baptist movement in Atlantic Canada and the university’s namesake. The open book symbolizes Bible-based learning. The rays of light indicate light shining down from God and then rising back as a reflection of His glory. The descending dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit. The torch, which symbolizes the fullness of the Holy Spirit, was the principal symbol on the seal adopted in 1899 by the Foreign Mission Board of the Baptist Convention of the Maritime Provinces. The waves symbolize the Atlantic region. The apple tree recalls the orchard that once stood on the present site of the university. It also recalls the group of Baptists who, in 1763, established a settlement on the Tantramar region of what became New Brunswick in order to “plant a new church.” The green colour of the apples symbolizes hope. The horses symbolize the pioneering pastors and itinerant preachers, including Joseph Crandall, who travelled by horse to evangelize immense regions and territories. The horses depicted here are Canadian horses, a breed recognized as an official symbol of Canada, and which were used extensively in the early history of the region. The compartment on which the horses stand refers to the land and sea of the Atlantic region served by Crandall University. The wild roses are a common flower in the region. They are chosen to illustrate the religious fervour of Joseph Crandall, who commented in his autobiography of his evangelizing work: “Truly the wilderness blossomed like the rose.” CHRISTUS PRÆEMINENS, translated as “Christ preeminent,” is inspired by Colossians 1:18: “And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.”

Crandall University’s 2020 Leadership Award – 10:00 am Ceremony Dr. Gary V. Nelson Gary Nelson is a proud western Canadian who is passionate about the big sky and prairie life. His roots to the Maritimes are deep, however. He is the grandson of Gordon S. Vincent Nelson, former Pastor of West End Baptist Church in Halifax, NS and Woodstock Baptist Church in New Bruswick. Over the years he served in pastoral roles in California, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Alberta. In 2000, Dr. Nelson assumed the role of General Secretary of Canadian Baptist Ministries, an organization that does the national and global work of Canadian Baptists. During those years, CBM experienced a striking capacity of growth, expanding the organization’s global impact in the areas of leadership development, theological education, sustainable community development, and the development of key educational resources for congregations across Canada. It furthered its influence in the Baptist World Alliance as well, where he served as Vice President from 2005-2010. In 2010, Dr. Nelson took up the role as President of Tyndale University and served in that capacity for 10 years. It was a time of expansion and growth for Tyndale as the institution moved to university status as legislated by the Province of Ontario and expanded programs both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. During his time at Tyndale, Gary Nelson navigated the development of a multi-million dollar renovation project that resulted on a new campus that positioned the university for the future. The seminary alone grew to over 900 students with a variety of graduate programs including a reshaped Counselling program recognized by the College of Psychotherapists of Ontario. He stepped down from that role on June 2020. His heart has always been for the church and in particular in the revitalization and renewal of urban congregations. As Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church, Edmonton in the 1990’s he was involved in the revitalizing and renewing of this historic downtown congregation into a creative and dynamic contemporary congregation. Dr. Nelson received the Bachelor of Education degree from the University of British Columbia and graduated with doctoral and master’s degrees from Fuller Theological Seminary. As an educator, Dr. Nelson has been involved in numerous creative approaches to theological and ministerial training. Most significant was as founding director of a post seminary urban leadership training initiative called BUILD (Baptist Urban Involvement in Leadership Crandall University

Development) in the city of Toronto that shaped pastors and international workers to work in urban settings. He has lectured and taught at universities and seminaries across Canada, the United States, and on three continents. Over the years, he has delivered lectures internationally in India, Bolivia, Czech Republic, Germany, Scotland, Ghana, and Rwanda on topics and themes that focus on missional living as the church, contemporary ministry, urban missiology as well as leadership and governance for Christian organizations. A recognized urban missiologist, he has authored and presented numerous papers that focus on theological and missiological ecclesiology. His writings include a coauthored book entitled Future Faith Churches: The Power of a Reconnected Gospel for the 21st Century (Woodlake Press, 1997), Borderland Churches: A Congregation’s Introduction to Missional Living (Chalice Press, 2008), Going Global: A Congregations Introduction to Mission Beyond our Borders (Chalice Press, 2011), and Leading in DisOrienting Times: Navigating Church & Organizational Change (Chalice Press, 2015). Gary continues to find passion around creating ways in which organizations can optimize their abilities and capacities. He is committed to helping local churches impact the local communities and global worlds to which they are a part. Gary is married to Carla, a former public school teacher who served as the founding Director and Associate Professor of the unique Bachelor of Education program at Tyndale. She is also a previous Leadership Award recipient of Crandall University in 2007. They have one married daughter (Stacy) who lives in Edmonton where they now are located so that they can enjoy their four wonderful grandchildren.

Crandall University’s 2021 Leadership Award – 1:00 pm Ceremony Mrs. Kim Phuc Phan Thi Kim Phuc Phan Thi is known around the world as the girl in the picture. In 1972, at the age of 9, she was immortalized in a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph that shows her screaming and running naked down a road in Trang Bang, Vietnam after having her clothing burned off by napalm. A living symbol of the atrocity of war, she is the founder of the Kim Foundation International, a nonprofit dedicated to providing funds to support the work of international organizations that provide free medical assistance to children who are victims of war and terrorism. Mrs. Phan Thi has suffered many hardships since that day in 1972, including several years of painful burn therapy, but her spirit has always remained strong. Inspired by the physicians who helped her survive, she decided to become a doctor, but her pre-medical studies in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) were interrupted in 1982 when the Vietnamese government removed her from school to act as a “national symbol of the war.” Four years later, the government permitted her to continue her studies in Cuba, but health issues put an end to her plans to become a doctor. It was in Cuba that Mrs. Phan Thi met her husband, Toan. They married on September 11, 1992. While on the way back to Havana after their honeymoon in Moscow, the couple defected to Canada during a one-hour layover in Newfoundland, Canada. They now live near Toronto with their two sons, Thomas and Stephen, and Mrs. Phan Thi travels the world as a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) Goodwill Ambassador for the Culture of Peace. Kim Phuc Phan Thi has received seven honorary doctorate degrees from universities in Canada, Australia, United States, and Mexico for her efforts to help children and to end world conflict. She is an honorary member of Kingston Rotary, St. Albert Rotary, and the Canadian Commission for UNESCO. She also sits on Advisory Boards for the Wheelchair Foundation, the Free Children’s Foundation in Canada, and she is a member of the Board of Directors of the World Children’s Center in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Mrs. Phan Thi is also a recipient of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal and the 2004 Order of Ontario. Mrs. Phan Thi received the International Peace Prize in Dresden, Germany in February 2019. She is also the author of Fire Road, which has been translated into eleven languages.

History of Crandall University Following the second World War, the leadership of the United Baptist Convention of the Maritime Provinces felt the time was right to address their concern that young people who were leaving the region to train for vocational Christian ministry were not returning. To address this issue, the United Baptist Bible Training School was founded in Moncton, New Brunswick in 1949. The school began as a Bible institute and then a few years later added a residential high school program because many prospective students who wanted to attend were from rural areas where young people did not have access to a high school education. For the next two decades, students came from all over Atlantic Canada and beyond to learn in a Christian context and to live in a Christian community. Academic excellence very quickly became a hallmark of the new school, and many people gave sacrificially to help expand the facilities and the programs. By 1968, high schools were being established across rural Atlantic Canada and the school transitioned to a Christian Junior Liberal Arts College to meet the educational needs of a new era. In 1970, the name was changed to Atlantic Baptist College to reflect this new direction. In 1983, the New Brunswick Legislature passed legislation granting Atlantic Baptist College a charter and gave the College the authority to offer baccalaureate degrees. By 1996, the growing College moved from its original Salisbury Road campus to a new 200-acre campus on the Gorge Road on land donated by Mrs. Ruth Colburne. In the same year, the original Act of the Legislature was amended to change the name of the College to Atlantic Baptist University. This was done to reflect the continued growth and development of the University which by then was granting undergraduate degrees in Arts, Business, and Science and in the following years added bachelor degrees in Education and Organizational Management. In 2008, and again in 2010, slight amendments to the Act were made to permit the awarding of degrees beyond the baccalaureate level and to change the name to Crandall University in honour of Joseph Crandall, who founded several Baptist churches in the greater Moncton area during the late 1800s. This new name was also intended to more clearly offer an invitation into the Crandall community to all prospective students and supporters who were not from a Baptist tradition. In 2010, the University opened the new Stultz Hall academic building, and in 2012 the new Mitton Court apartment building, to augment the existing Colburne House residence and Murray Hall in order to accommodate the continued growth of the student body. In 2013, the University began to offer graduate degrees in Organizational Management and Education. By 2020, a Master of Management was added. Through this development the University witnessed a significant increase in enrollment from both domestic and international graduate students. Along with the growth in the student body, the size of the staff continued to increase as did the size and breadth of the faculty. At the same time, the University has maintained small class sizes to preserve the individual attention and friendly and supportive spirit which it has always valued. Over 300 undergraduate scholarships were added and the number of athletic teams increased as Crandall students travelled to compete in the region, the nation, and internationally.

Highlights from 2020-2021 While operating a university in a year of restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic has been a challenge, still there is much to celebrate! Enrollment this year reached a new record high of 948 students. Included in that number are students from more than 25 countries, which is a new record. Thanks to a special designated gift, donations this year reached a new record high. More than 500 scholarships and bursaries were awarded to undergraduate students this year, and this represents an increase of about 100 from 2019. The size of Crandall University’s full-time staff reached a new record high this year. The number of faculty grew as well with the addition of Cathlene Hillier (PhD, Waterloo) in Education, J-F (PhD, Queensland) in Education, Mark Lee (DPhil, Oxford) in History, and Don Moore (MBA, Moncton) in Management. In addition, the following new faculty members are arriving this summer: Tye Campbell (PhD, Alabama) in Education, Lucy Huang (PhD, cand. UNB) in Psychology, Isaac Soon (PhD, Durham) in Religious Studies, Wellington Sousa (PhD cand., Regina) in Management, and Steve Watts (PhD, St. Andrew’s) in History/Dean of Chapel. As a result of these additions, our faculty will be at its largest size in the University’s history. Finally, so far there have been no COVID-19 cases present on our campus!
