Ralph's career included several leadership roles:
Minister at Valleyview Mennonite Church (1961-74), where he initiated the Congregational Supervised Pastoral Education program.

Ralph was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (1991), which changed his life dramatically. It robbed him of some health and altered his vocational choices.

Throughout his career, Ralph was involved in larger church-wide ministry across North America. He was passionate about pastoral ministry, pastoral leadership training, and marriage and family therapy. Ralph was instrumental in getting women pastors into leadership roles in Mennonite churches in Ontario. Ralph was a founder of Hidden Acres Camp and Shalom Counselling. He was a charter member of Waterloo North Mennonite Church.

After growing up on a farm, Ralph and Eileen purchased (1970) a "hobby" farm outside Hanover, where he was able to continue his passion for farming until 2000.

Mourning the Loss of Former President Ralph Lebold
by Jen Konkle, Conrad Grebel University College, Waterloo, Ontario

With deep sadness, Grebel mourns the passing of Ralph Lebold (1934-2017) on Tuesday, October 31, 2017. Ralph followed Frank H. Epp as the third president of Grebel from 1979 to 1989. Ralph is survived by his wife Eileen, and his children, Cindy and Scott, Connie and Tony, Marvin, and their families.

Serving as president at Grebel in a decade of growth and change, Ralph "led from the middle" to increase unity amongst faculty and staff while expanding relationships with the Mennonite constituency. As described in Grebel's 50th anniversary book, Bridging Mind and Spirit, during his presidency Ralph guided the College into an era of maturity and stability. With a new mission statement "that confidently acknowledged Grebel's multiple relationships with church bodies and the public university," he brought stronger connections to the church constituency while increasing funding from the conference.

In 2006, Pandora Press published Ralph's autobiography, Strange and Wonderful Paths: Memoirs of Ralph Lebold. Reflecting in this book on his call to the presidency, Ralph wrote, "While I was comfortable enough in dealing with conflict, believed in young people, and was committed to Christian education, I also knew that once some of the conflicts were worked through, the larger task of academic leadership would await me. Would the faculty and the board be comfortable with my leadership?" And indeed, he succeeded in his role, earning the respect of the entire College community.

Part of Ralph's legacy included training pastors and leaders for the church. He taught regularly at Grebel, in courses like "Church and Ministry." During his presidency, the College added the Master of Theological Studies degree, which has continued to be an important source of education for church leaders. The role that Ralph played in inter-Mennonite conversations regarding the need for Ontario-based leadership training for pastors was crucial to this development.

After earning a grade eight education, Ralph went on to receive the following degrees: Bachelor of Arts from Eastern Mennonite College (1958), Bachelor of Divinity from Goshen College Biblical Seminary (1961), Master of Theology from Crozer Theological Seminary (1968), Doctorate of Ministry from St. Michael's College, University of Toronto (1980). In addition to filling the role of Grebel President, Ralph's career included several other leadership positions: Minister at Valleyview Mennonite Church (1961-74), where he initiated the Congregational Supervised Pastoral Education program; Conference Minister (1974-79), serving both the Western Ontario Mennonite Conference and Mennonite Conference of Ontario and Quebec, precursors to Mennonite Church Eastern Canada; and Director of Theological Education with Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminaries (1989-97).

Reflecting on the loss of this important voice, new Grebel president Marcus Shantz remarked, "I got to know Ralph when I was thirteen years old at Waterloo North Mennonite Church. I always knew that my parents deeply respected Ralph and Eileen, and I developed my own connections with him when I grew older. Very recently, I had two significant discussions with him about Grebel and the role of president. He gave good advice, and I had been looking forward to more conversation."

In 1997, Grebel and Mennonite Church Eastern Canada established the Ralph and Eileen Lebold Endowment for Leadership Training to fund expenses related to the pastoral training portion of the Master of Theological Studies program. This is the College's largest endowed fund at over $1.3 million, and a portion of its annual earnings fund the Anabaptist Learning Workshop program.

Ralph remained connected and involved with Grebel for the rest of his life, most recently attending the 1985-95 era reunion to visit with alumni. "We will remember Ralph as a man who was quick to smile, and always had a heart for the Mennonite Church and its people," said President Shantz. "He will be dearly missed."
