Howard Paterson Chair in Theology and Public Issues and Director of the Centre for Theology and Public Issues

The University of Otago’s Centre for Theology and Public Issues moves closer to reality with the advertisement for the Howard Paterson Chair in Theology and Public Issues and Director of the Centre for Theology and Public Issues.

The position is aimed at “a scholar with a distinguished record of international research publications and teaching experience in the area of Theology and Public Issues, Public Theology, Christian Ethics or Applied Theology”, which rules out the likes of newbies like me. But one day, perhaps.

In any event, it should start to put public theology on the agenda in NZ (and start more conversations and opportunities in that area).
