20 SCRIPTURE ADJUDICATOR REVEREND BRUCE FRASER Bruce Fraser is a student of and lover of the Bible. When he was in college training to be a pastor, he wrote home about Terry Prendergast, the professor who taught the New Testament to first-year students. It wasn't so much the content of the class, but the way in which he taught the Bible, that made an impression: "It is clear that, for this man, this book is life." That had, and still has, a profound effect upon Bruce. Bruce is one of the ministers at St. Paul's United Church in Stirling. He and his wife Jane have three daughters, and recently one grandson.
