Join us on Wednesdays during this year’s Summer Programs to enjoy conversations with members of our summer faculty. The professors and topics are different each week, so there’s always something new to explore.
Topic
This week practical theologian John Swinton will take questions about theology and mental health within our lives and the life of the church.
Join us at noon in Room 100, and feel free to bring your lunch.
Speaker
John Swinton is a Scottish theologian and former mental health nurse currently based at the University of Aberdeen. As a practical theologian, he specializes in the intersection of theology, mental health, and disability. His research focuses on how Christian theology engages with profound intellectual disability, dementia, schizophrenia, and other mental health conditions, offering theological perspectives on suffering, personhood, and vocation.
