Having grown up on a cattle ranch in western Manitoba, Ryan Turnbull has a deep interest in the intersection of theology, decolonization, ecology, place, and friendship. You can find him either talking about these things in a cafe or riding around town on his bike with his wife Rachel.

Ryan holds a BA and MA in Theology from Providence University College and Theological Seminary and just completed the defense of his PhD in Theology and Religion in December 2023, at the University of Birmingham, entitled “Haunted and Held: A Christian Theology of Place.”

Ryan is currently a Visiting Fellow at St John’s College and serves as the Diocesan Discipleship Developer in the Diocese of Rupert’s Land

In addition to his day job with the diocese, Ryan serves on the executive of the Canadian Theological Society and teaches theology as an adjunct instructor at a number of universities and seminaries across Canada.
