“The Celtic Christian tradition is not what I would call ‘I need a hug theology.’ It’s deeply grounded in the revelation of Father, Son, and Spirit…”—Ross Lockhart
Episode 61 of Spirituality for Ordinary People features an interview with Dr. Ross Lockhart. Ross is Associate Professor and Director of the Centre for Missional Leadership at St. Andrew’s Hall. Ross serves as the Presbyterian Director of Denominational Formation at Vancouver School of Theology as well as an Adjunct Professor of Homiletics at St. Mark’s College, UBC. He also teaches regularly at Regent College.
Key Learnings
