A QUESTION AT THE HEART OF MY RESEARCH

What happens when relationship is a way of knowing?

My doctoral work explores mission among Indigenous Peoples and the relationality gap: the distance between relationship as a teaching method and relationship as the ground of knowledge.

BEHIND THE WRITING

A theologian.
A listener. A fellow traveller.

I am an Igbo theologian and Missionary Oblate of Mary Immaculate. Years of life and ministry among Innu communities continue to shape the questions I bring to theology, culture and the Church.
