The Centre is an initiative of St Barnabas College, and all activities associated with the Centre will be facilitated by the Centre’s Director, The Rt Rev’d Dr Tim Harris.
The aim is to bring together people with a research background and practitioners in all mission spheres to listen to and learn from one another.
With this view in mind, and to ensure the research integrity of the Centre, it is anticipated that the membership will be comprised of:
- Senior Associates – specialist research capacity.
- Associates – active practitioners & researchers.
- Affiliates – those with a general interest in being involved in the conversations.
- Contacts – those who would like to receive communications and network with the Centre.
Senior Associates and Associates are appointed by invitation.
