The Reverend Dr Andrew Teal

Chaplain, Fellow and Lecturer in Theology

A Yorkshireman by birth, I was ordained as an Anglican priest into Parish ministry aged 23. I moved into Higher Education via a college founded by Campion Hall in 2002, and into Pembroke a year later as Chaplain. I’m surprised that I’ve been a part of Pembroke for over 20 years, and it’s a testimony to the place that it has prompted significant development in my research areas. Pembroke has been a place of joy, even though some of the pastoral duties have included supporting people in times of real pain and difficulty. I am the pastor of the College, as Chaplain, and though obviously part of the welfare team, have a particular role in that which may, or may not, have a religious or faith dimension.

Both pastorally and intellectually I am passionately committed to making Pembroke a place of profound inclusion and I have a reputation for advocacy – in parliament in terms of Freedom of Religion and Belief, and internationally and in terms of inter-faith and ecumenism. I’m invited by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople and the Holy See to be a part of working to celebrate the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. In addition to having deep and committed relations with the Orthodox and Catholic communities, over the last 5 years I have developed an intense and committed relationship to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – intellectually and spiritually and am well-known and consulted by the leadership of that community.

I began at Pembroke teaching New Testament Greek across the University as well as Early Church and Modern Theology to Theology and Philosophy Undergraduates. I still teach undergrads in Pembroke and in other colleges to those who opt for finals papers in my areas, but also teach the obligatory prelims paper on Jesus through the Ages. I write on Christology, art and theology, and Patristic theology especially, and on dialogue and theology especially with the Latter-day Saint community. I supervise and mark graduate theses as well as undergraduate papers for the Theology and Religion Faculty where I am a Full Faculty Member, and I am an Associate Faculty member of Brigham Young University in Provo, UT, USA.
