Leah Thomas, PhD, Asst. Prof. of Pastoral Care & Contextual Education | AMBS Alumni Third Thursdays
Channel: Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary
Date: 2021-02-18

Leah R. Thomas, Ph.D., blends an academic focus on pastoral care and Christian social ethics with professional experience in hospital chaplaincy, pastoring and nonprofit management.

Her ministry and theological commitments inform her teaching and research, which carefully attends to and incorporates voices excluded by the dominant culture, asking how these voices inform and shift caregiving. Leah’s research interests include anti-racist and intercultural pastoral care, trauma, culture, and the role of embodiment in caregiving and Christian spiritual practices.

Her desire to teach at AMBS is rooted in a commitment to peace, justice and anti-racism in a world that is reeling from disparity, injustice and divisiveness.
