What People Are Saying
Facilitators
Wesley Huff
Wesley Huff was born in Multan, Pakistan and spent a portion of his childhood in the Middle East. After being diagnosed with a rare neurological condition at the age of 11 that left him paralyzed from the waist down he experienced a miraculous recovery that the doctors themselves said they had no medical explanation for. This experience, along with a great deal of study and soul searching in his later teens helped his interest in the subjects of faith, and engaging the beliefs and worldview perspectives of others. Wesley holds a BA in sociology from York University, a Masters of Theological Studies from Tyndale Seminary, and is currently a PhD student in New Testament at the University of Toronto's Wycliffe College. He has participated in numerous talks and interfaith dialogue events at universities across Canada and has been participating in public dialogues on issues of faith, belief, and religion for the last ten years. (His wealth of material can be found at wesleyhuff.com.) He enjoys canoeing, archery, and cats (although not all three at the same time). Wes lives in Toronto with his wife Melissa, their son Eli, and their daughters Everly and Juliette.
Jill Roias
As someone who did not grow up in a Christian environment, Jill values thoughtful conversations about life's most meaningful questions and experiences. She is passionate about communicating the gospel, helping people walk with Jesus for a lifetime, and seeing others come to understand how the good news of Jesus connects with the whole of life.
Fascinated by well-told stories and the human experience, Jill holds a degree in English and Humanities from Simon Fraser University and has almost two decades experience of working with Canadian university students in campus ministry. While a west coaster at heart, Jill now lives a carless city life with her husband and two sons in Toronto, frequenting city playgrounds and local bakeries.
