简介
Rev Dr Edmund Fong is an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church in Singapore. Before joining full-time paid Christian ministry, Edmund worked as an engineer with the Public Utilities Board. After graduating with his basic theological degree from Moore Theological College in Sydney, Edmund’s desire to serve God as a theological educator led to him doing a Masters of Theology with TTC and doctoral studies with the University of Otago, New Zealand, where Edmund worked on the notion of the obedience of Jesus Christ as understood within the theology of the Swiss-German theologian, Karl Barth. Edmund joined TTC as a faculty member in January 2017. Edmund is married to Mei Ying, and they have three teenagers—Phoebe, Chloe, and Jonathan. Together, they worship at Adam Road Presbyterian Church, where Edmund remains as an Associate Minister.
