This service will include Miami Valley Pipes and Drums and all are welcome. The church is located at 125 N. Wilkinson St. in downtown Dayton. 

Sandy McConnel, Pastor of Westminster Church said, “We are delighted to have Dr. Torrance join us on February 11. Through his years as a scholar and a pastor, Dr. Torrance will not only give our congregation insight into theological education, and the role of the church in the world, but also into how best to accomplish our mission as servants of Jesus Christ.”

In 2001, Torrance was appointed a Chaplain-in-Ordinary to Her Majesty the Queen in Scotland. 

“In my mind, Princeton Theological Seminary is the leading theological institute in the world. I am honored to be able to travel across the United States on behalf of the Princeton community to meet with friends and supporters of the Seminary,” said Torrance.
