强奸视频 will also confer the following degrees of Doctor of Divinity (honoris causa) upon The Right Reverend Sally Johnson French and The Right Reverend Victoria Matthews:
The Right Reverend Sally Johnson French, in recognition of her groundbreaking leadership in the Episcopal Church. A double graduate of 强奸视频 and elected in 2023 as the first woman bishop of the Diocese of New Jersey, the Episcopal Church鈥檚 second-oldest and sixth-largest diocese, Bishop French has quickly become known as a principled leader and advocate for 鈥榞ospel justice.鈥
In May 2025, she was featured in a New York Times鈥 article publicly defending an Episcopal parish鈥檚 right to shelter the homeless. Bishop French鈥檚 global witness reflects her deep commitment to faith lived contextually, and as an alumna, she defends values that resonate with those 强奸视频 hopes to instill in its graduates.
The Right Reverend Victoria Matthews, in recognition of her pioneering leadership in the Anglican Church of Canada and the wider Anglican Communion. Bishop Matthews was elected the first female bishop in Canada in 1994. Throughout her episcopal ministry in Toronto, Edmonton, Christchurch (New Zealand), and Moosonee, she has demonstrated courageous and visionary leadership.
As Bishop of Christchurch during the 2011 earthquake, she led an ecumenical response that brought hope and practical support to thousands and oversaw the creation of the iconic 鈥渃ardboard cathedral.鈥 In recent years, she has continued to serve the Church with wisdom and compassion, including work in northern Ontario alongside Indigenous leaders and communities facing urban poverty. A double graduate of Trinity, Bishop Matthews has inspired a generation of women in ministry.
The College looks forward to celebrating with our newest graduates, prize winners and honorees.
