Revd Patrick McGlinchey

Part–time Lecturer in Missiology

Patrick has graduate and post–graduate degrees in Theology from the University of Nottingham. He is currently working on a doctoral thesis that explores the relationship between Joseph Ratzinger’s (Pope Benedict XVI’s) Augustinian theology and evangelicalism. Prior to ordination in the Church of England, he worked as a school teacher and later as the Co–ordinator of the City of Belfast YMCA’s Cross Community Schools’ Programme. His pastoral experience, which includes the planting of a joint Anglican/Baptist church in the Diocese of Norwich, has been profoundly motivated by his concern that the Church engage effectively with the culture. Prior to coming to CITI, he was the Church of Ireland chaplain to Queen’s University, Belfast.
 
Paddy has been married to his wife Helen and they have three children, Paul, Patrick and Timothy.
