About Me

THE REV. DR. G. MALCOLM SINCLAIR

The Rev. Dr. George Malcolm Sinclair was called to the pulpit of the Metropolitan Church in 1988. In 1998 the congregation invited him to serve further in an Intentional Long-Term Ministry. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Laurentian University, a Master of Divinity degree from Emmanuel College, Toronto. In 1986 he received the Doctor of Ministry degree from Drew University in the United States, and in 1997 was awarded the Doctor of Divinity degree (honoris causa) from Emmanuel College. In 2014, Dr. Sinclair was honoured with the 2013 “Distinguished Alumni Award” from Emmanuel College.

Dr. Sinclair has served four Toronto congregations nearly forty-nine years, and is widely invited to preach across Canada and beyond. He has been a theme speaker at home and in the United States, and has lectured on “Imagination in Preaching” at the Toronto School of Theology. He has contributed to “Feasting on the Word”, a multi-volume lectionary resource for preachers, published by Westminster John Knox Press in Nashville, and is now working on articles for their new series called "Feasting on the Gospels".

He is a Past-President of the St. Andrew’s Society of Toronto, a member of the Royal Canadian College of Organists, Clan Sinclair of Canada, and is a Captain in, and Padre to, the 78th Fraser Highlanders, York Garrison.

Malcolm Sinclair is now a  “retiring” United Church minister. After a very exciting half century career in city churches, he is now released to whatever awaits. He sings, he acts, he can speak well in public, and plays well with others. He has a beautiful, and very smart Scottish wife, and five great kids who are suddenly much older than he remembers. Nine fine grandchildren, who have the family wit, and the gift of the gab, star in the next family iteration. Over the years, Malcolm has preached abroad, sung and toured far and wide. Presided over classic Scots, travelled with the Chief, been Padre to the highland heroes of old, been honoured now and then, surprised more than once, and blessed beyond belief.

A poet by compulsion, a thinker by intention and a dreamer, when tempted, or set free, he awaits inspiration and invitation, with expectation.
