Anthony Reddie will be preaching the University Sermon on 'Reclaiming the Ordinary'. Anthony Reddie is an established and committed scholar in the field of Black Liberation Theology, who has dedicated his life to research, teaching, and indepth scholarship in the United Kingdom and around the world. Originally from Bradford, Anthony is rooted in the Methodist tradition both as a scholar and a Methodist Local Preacher. He has served the Methodist Church in the training of its preachers and clergy, enabling those preparing for ministry to engage with issues of race, class, and diversity. Most recently he has been a Mission Secretary for Europe for The Council for World Mission. He has been unwavering in his commitment to ecumenism, something reflected in the nature of his work and in his own personal ecclesiology. Anthony is a fellow of Wesley House, Cambridge and was recently appointed as the Director for the Oxford Centre for Religion and Culture within Oxford University, where he is also a fellow of Regent's Park College, Oxford. Anthony is the Editor of the Black Theology International Journal, the only global international journal of black theology in the world. He is Professor Extraordinarius in the Department of Philosophy, Practical and Systemic Theology at the University of South Africa and in 2018 became the first ever black person to receive an A rating in theology and religious studies in the history of the National Research Foundation in South Africa. In 2020 Archbishop Justin awarded him the Lanfranc Award for Education and Scholarship.
