Tom O'Connor
Faculty Emeritus
I received my ThD in pastoral care and counselling from the University of Toronto in 1995 and my MTh in pastoral counseling from Wilfrid Laurier University/Waterloo Lutheran Seminary in 1990.
I am now retired and enjoy my cottage.
I love research and have published more than 50 research articles in peer reviewed journals and authored five books. I love spirituality, religion and well-being. Now in retirement, I am still writing, focusing on articles on competency in spiritual care and psychotherapy, addressing clients' spiritual needs and pastoral research as art.
