Andrew Suderman is Associate Professor in Theology, Peace, and Mission. Although born in Canada, Andrew has spent many years living outside of Canada – a combined total of ten years in Latin America (Costa Rica, Bolivia, and Colombia) – before moving back to Canada. He received Undergraduate degrees in both Theology and Philosophy and received a Masters degree in Theology from Conrad Grebel University College.
Andrew has sought to maintain a balance between the academy and lived ministerial and practical experience in several different contexts. During his undergraduate studies in theology and philosophy Andrew worked with offenders and ex-offenders in both Provincial and Federal penitentiaries. While working on his Masters, Andrew supervised a 54-bed homeless shelter.
From 2009 – 2016, Andrew and his wife Karen served as Mennonite Church Canada Witness Workers in South Africa. They lived in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa and helped to coordinate the Anabaptist Network in South Africa (ANiSA).
