"An awareness of church history is truly one of the great resources for ministry in and beyond the parish. Currently I am pursuing a project investigating the global dimensions of Christianity by exploring the development of medieval and early modern world maps. Connecting with our Christian past can provide one of the best strategies for addressing issues that confront the church and the world in our time."
