Rev. Dr. Steven Griffin

Steve was born and raised in Mexico, where his parents served as career missionaries for nearly 50 years. He first came to Canada in 1985 to work as a volunteer with the Summer Day Camps run by Crosstalk Ministries in the Anglican Diocese of Montreal. It was there that he met his future wife, Stella Sweetman.

After he and Stella were married in 1987, he continued to study and teach Russian language and literature, but then took up theology (first at St Paul University, and later McGill). Since Stella is a career diplomat, he considers it a great privilege to have had the chance over the last couple of decades to partner with churches and seminaries in various parts of the world, helping local leaders to train others for Gospel ministry.

Most recently, he served as one of the ministers at All Saints Cathedral in Cairo, having been ordained there in 2019. He and Stella have three children and five grandchildren.
