SUMMARY:Rev. Dr. J. Peter Holmes
DESCRIPTION:The Rev. Dr. J. Peter Holmes has served since 2001 as the Minister of the Congregation of the historic Yorkminster Park Baptist Church in the heart of Toronto. During this time the congregation has grown into an increasingly diverse and multi-cultural family. While the church has a long history of excellence in music\, liturgy and preaching\, it has also become a community centre for culture and the arts as well as many missional endeavours focussed on relieving food insecurity\, providing shelter and offering housing for those who are homeless and support for refugees. \nWhile Peter’s family roots are in Ontario\, as a child of the manse he spent most of his formative years in Victoria\, British Columbia where he graduated from the University of Victoria and served as Ombudsman of the university. He holds a Master of Divinity degree from Wycliffe College at the University of Toronto\, and a Doctor of Ministry from Acadia University in Nova Scotia. Prior to his call to Yorkminster Park\, he served churches in Toronto and Montreal. \nPeter approaches the pulpit as a gifted story teller with a pastoral heart. He has often led pilgrimages of sacred spaces in both Canada and the USA and is the host of Yorkminster Park’s Lester Randall Preaching Fellowship which attracts clergy from far and wide. Peter has contributed to Biblical commentaries and preached in churches in Europe\, the Middle East and in both Canada and the United States. \nIn recognition of Peter’s leadership in ecumenical and interfaith endeavours in the city and beyond\, the Toronto Commandery of the Order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem named him as the recipient of their 2022 Marjorie McKinnon Ecumenical Lifetime Achievement Award. Peter was a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth ll Diamond Jubilee medal and the King Charles Coronation medal\, both awarded to “honour significant contributions and achievements by Canadians.” In 2016 Peter was named an Honorary Lifetime Fellow of Acadia Divinity College and in 2024 awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity from the same school. He serves as Chaplain to the Royal Commonwealth Society\, and a board member of the House of Compassion \nPeter is married to Janet and they have two daughters\, a son and one delightful granddaughter. In his spare time Peter loves to garden\, cycle\, walk and cheer for the Leafs\, Blue Jays and Buffalo Bills.
