Our Minister

The Venerable Dr. Bramwell Pearce

The Ven. Dr. Bramwell Pearce has been a priest in the Diocese of Ontario since 2012. He earned his BA from the University of Toronto in 2002 and studied theology at Wycliffe College where he received a
Master of Religion in 2006. He was commissioned as a Salvation Army Officer from 2007-2012.
Following his reception into the Anglican Communion, Bram has served in various pastoral ministries throughout the Diocese of Ontario including incumbencies in Bath and Kingston. In addition to his responsibilities at St Mary Magdalene, Bram is also the Archdeacon of Ontario.

Bram was recently awarded a Doctor of Ministry degree from the University of Redlands in California. His dissertation focused on how today’s digital culture affects people’s sense of personhood, and how embracing aspects of the Christian contemplative tradition may help people engage more thoughtfully with the digital technologies shaping our lives.
This work continues to shape Bram’s ministry. He is passionate about helping people discover their true sense of self, the self that is loved by God in Christ fully, completely, and unconditionally.
When not busy with the church and larger diocese, Bram enjoys reading novels by Wendall Berry, meals with friends and family, and playing with his dog Matilda. He and his spouse Anita are also the proud parents of three sons: Wesley, Rowan, and Thomas.
