The primary focus of Dr. John Hoffmeyer’s theological work is the Trinity. He is especially interested in ways that reflection on the Trinity can aid in making the life and witness of the church more realistic: that is, more in accordance with reality as defined by the gospel. He has published on the German thinkers G.W.F. Hegel and Friedrich Schleiermacher, and is currently working on a book on trinitarian theology and consumerism.

Dr. Hoffmeyer has worked, taught, and published in the area of theological education with youth.  He regularly leads educational travel seminars to El Salvador.

Rev. Dr. Joe Duggan is an Episcopal priest in the Diocese of Nevada, he received his PhD from the University of Manchester, England, and is the founder of Postcolonial Networks.  Postcolonial Networks includes the Postcolonial Theology Network (PTN) on Facebook with over 1900+ members; the Journal of Postcolonial Theory and Theology with readers in 60+ non English speaking countries; the Journal of Technology, Theology and Religion with readers in 20+ non English speaking counties and Postcolonial Networks website with 22000+ views since September 2010.

Duggan prefers to work across ideological and geographical divides as an expression of his commitment to a postcolonial dialogical practice that does not demand compromise, common ground, or even reconciliation, but rather mentors radically different people to maintain proximity of relationship and communications without expectation of change.

The Rev. Dr. Jason Fout is Secretary/Treasurer of the Society of Anglican and Lutheran Theologians.

He serves as Assistant Professor of Anglican Theology at Bexley Hall Theological Seminary, where his teaching portfolio ranges over theology, ethics, history and liturgics.

His Ph.D. in theology is from the University of Cambridge, where he studied with Professors David F. Ford and Daniel W. Hardy.

He received his M.Div. and M.T.S. from Seabury-Western Theological Seminary (2001) and B.A. from the University of Illinois at Chicago (1992), where he studied philosophy and history.

Dr. Fout’s research interests include contemporary theology (particularly the thought of Rowan Williams, Karl Barth, Donald MacKinnon, Sarah Coakley, and Paul Ricoeur), the history of Anglican theology, political theology, moral theology, and constructive theology in the area of Christology, theological anthropology. In addition, he is quite interested in the conversations which might take place at the intersections of theology and other disciplines, particularly economics and urbanism.
