Editor’s Note: There is no lack of well-known Yale Divinty School alumni who have made their mark overseas. In contemporary times, some of the more prominent names include theologian Charles Villa-Vicencio ’72 S.T.M, founder of South Africa’s Institute for Justice and Reconciliation; Joon Surh Park ‘69 B.D., president of Kyungin Women’s College in Incheon, South Korea; David Ford, ’85 S.T.M., Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge University; Nai-Wang Kwok ’66 B.D., founder of the Hong Kong Christian Institute and former general secretary of the Hong Kong Christian Council; Setri Nyomi ’81 S.T.M., general secretary of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC); and Toshihiro Takami ’60 M.Div., founder of the Asian Rural Institute in Japan.

His reaction to being the school’s first per- manent Roman Catholic dean?

“My first thought was: it’s about time! Har- vard had its first one a decade or two before. Maybe there were some raised eyebrows among traditional alums, but I think the skeptics were soon reassured by the direc- tion we were taking the school.”

His teaching career has notably exposed him to various historical Protestant aca- demic subcultures beyond Yale—at Harvard the discussion about The Da Vinci Code novel’s dubious biblical (where he received a Ph.D.) and at Southern claims, spoke out against capital punishment, and hosted two Methodist University (where he taught for eight years).

“I think the teaching enterprise keeps me grounded,” he says. “I’m not simply here to just balance books or worry about faculty appointments. I am here to do the task of theological education, and from my particular spectrum of expertise and interest … It’s important to keep in touch with students in front of the classroom – and to have the faculty know that I’m in the teaching trenches with them.”
