Biography

Judy Paulsen serves as Professor of Evangelism and Director of Wycliffe’s Institute of Evangelism. As the daughter of Anglican missionaries, she lived her early childhood years in northwest India prior to her family moving to Ottawa. She holds a Master of Applied Science from McGill University, a Master of Divinity from Wycliffe College, and a Doctor of Ministry in Missional Leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary. Judy has served as a parish priest in four parishes in the Anglican Diocese of Toronto, and as a speaker at conferences, retreats, and workshops. This coming year she will be developing a new graduate-level course in evangelism called Evangelism Remixed: Learning from Biblical Narratives of Conversion. Judy’s primary interest lies in the effective communication of the gospel in today’s culture.
