First PhD student completes at our link university VU Amsterdam, and earns the rare distinction of a Cum Laude (distinction)

We are delighted that Revd Dr Al Barrett has been awarded the ‘Cum Laude’ for his PhD thesis entitled ‘Interrupting the church’s flow: Engaging Graham Ward and Romand Coles in a radically receptive political theology in the urban margins‘.  Al gave an excellent public defence in Amsterdam on 13^th September, responding eloquently and convincingly to his 5 opponents’ questions.
