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.
