My Own Training for this Work:
My ordination is with the Church of Uganda.
I hold a B.A. from the University of Michigan with majors in philosophy and psychology, an M.T.S. from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in New Testament Studies, and a PhD from Duke University in New Testament and Christian Origins. My doctoral dissertation, 'Gospel and Mission in Paul's Ethics' (1989) argued for a narrative approach to ethics in Paul's writings.
I have taught since 1985 in various countries and lived in a number of them, starting programmes, teaching courses, and engaging in mission activities. I have worked in various denominations where the Church remains theologically and ethically orthodox and Evangelical.
