Donald Stoesz, B.A., M. Šiv., Ph.D. I graduated with a Master of Divinity from a Mennonite Seminary in Elkhart, Indiana in 1981 and with a Ph.D. in Religious Studies from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec in1991. I served as a Protestant and minority faith chaplain at all levels of security in Quebec and in Alberta for thirty-five years. I accommodated the religious needs of inmates who were Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Rastafarian, Wiccan, and Pagan as well as conducted worship services and facilitated Bible studies for the Protestant offenders. I escorted inmates to Celebrate Recovery meetings in the community to help them in their reintegration.
