The Presbytery of Hamilton has approved the appointment of the Rev. John Duff, a retired Presbyterian minister now living in Ancaster, to the role of stated supply at Knox Church for a period of five months starting Sept. 1.
Rev. Duff grew up in Burlington but as a child attended MacNab Street Presbyterian Church, where his grandfather, the Rev. Dr. Beverley Ketchen was minister. Later his family became part of the beginnings of Aldershot Presbyterian Church, under the ministry of the Rev. Wm. Black.
His ministry has taken him to Red Deer, Meaford and Thornbury, Toronto, Saskatoon, Ottawa, Nicaragua; and St. John's Newfoundland. He officially retired in 2002, but has done some part-time ministerial assignments from time to time since then.
Until September, a number of ministers and lay speakers will be filling the pulpit at Knox Church, with Ms. Wilma Welsh, former moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, leading the service on Aug. 14.
