Daily Reflection

Rev. Doug Goodwin is writing our reflections for the season of Lent. Doug became a member of University Hill Congregation in 2003, a member of the Session, serving for a time as Clerk of Session, and for a few months as part-time, temporary minister when the regular minister was on sick leave.

Raised and ordained as a Presbyterian, Doug joined The United Church of Canada when called in 1983 to a pastoral charge in and around Vanderhoof, BC, where he served for fifteen years. He then worked out of Vanderhoof for BC Conference for five years before heading to Vancouver in 2003 to be Executive Secretary of the Conference (later to become the Pacific Mountain Regional Council), where he remained until retirement in June, 2019.

Doug and his wife, Theresa (and their golden retriever, Abby), now live in Mill Bay, BC, where Doug continues to do some part-time work for the Region, serves on the board and foundation of the Vancouver School of Theology, and is treasurer on the board of Camp Pringle.

Doug can be reached by email here.
