Conn was born in Regina, Saskatchewan and studied at Calvin College and Westminster Theological Seminary.[2] He was a missionary in South Korea prior to his appointment at WTS and also served as editor of Urban Mission.[3] Conn was an ordained minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.[4]
Legacy
A Festschrift was published in his honor: The Urban Face of Mission: Ministering the Gospel in a Diverse and Changing World, which included contributions from scholars such as William Dyrness and Charles H. Kraft.[5]
D. G. Hart argues that Tim Keller's views about "word and deed ministries" are influenced by Conn's "theory and practice of urban missions and ministry."[6] Tim Keller also cites Conn as saying that Jonah 2:9 is the central verse in the whole Bible: 'Salvation is of the LORD'.
