Interview with The Rev. Dr. P.A. (Sandy) McDonald (former Moderator and perhaps longest serving minister in one congregation)

Rev. John Borthwick sits down with The Rev. Dr. P.A. Sandy MacDonald, a Knox College alumnus, former Moderator of the General Assembly of The Presbyterian Church in Canada, and a minister whose remarkable 56-year pastorate at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, exemplifies a life of steadfast faith and service.

Sandy reflects on his rural upbringing near Stratford, Ontario, his early passion for church music as an organist, and his theological journey through Knox College. He candidly shares how his career unfolded, beginning with an Ordained Missionary appointment that he never left—a rare, lifelong commitment to one congregation.
