Mark G. Toulouse, a scholar of American religious history, has been named as the principal of Emmanuel College at Toronto, the largest theological college affiliated with the United Church of Canada. Toulouse, an ordained Disciples of Christ minister, has taught for 22 years at Texas Christian University's Brite Divinity School and served as dean and executive vice president at the seminary in Fort Worth.
