A meeting of the congregation on July 5th, resolved to issue a Call to the Rev’d Dr Geoffrey Dornan to join the Ministry Team from January 1st, 2021. He has accepted our Call. Geoff was ordained in March 1980. He holds degrees in Economics (Industrial Relations) from the University of NSW, Theology and Philosophy from the University of Sydney – B.D and M.Th. (Hons I) – and PhD from Boston University in Theology, Philosophy and Ethics. Geoff’s interest is in understanding the development of ideas, the way they rub-up against each other, and their impact upon the way we conceive of the world. He has spent much of his ordained life living and thinking between cultures, ideologies, philosophies and theologies. Much of his energy has been invested in the Anglo/Hispanic contrast, having worked and lived in South, Central and North America. He has also had experience working in development and aid in the Indian subcontinent, the Philippines, Zimbabwe, Zambia and South Sudan.In coming to Wesley, Geoff is excited about ‘bringing to the table’ the broad range of ideas that inform the way we think about society and Christian witness within it. Of a progressive nature, he suggests that the solutions to current problems, are not found in a re-hashing of past paradigms, but rather in a sensitive awareness of the inter-relationship between our history, our present, and the future. We look forward to welcoming Geoff and his family to our community. |
