Ann Loades CBE, best known for her work in feminist theology, was the first woman president of the Society for the Study of Theology, and only the second person to be awarded a CBE for services to theology (the first being C.F.D. Moule). From 1975-2003, she taught theology at Durham University, was a Canon of Durham Cathedral and is now in active retirement in St Andrews. Stephen Burns’ PhD was supervised by Ann Loades. He is Professor of Liturgical and Practical Theology at Pilgrim Theological College, Melbourne, Australia. He is a priest in the Church of England.

‘What Ann Loades has been able under God, to facilitate, [is] the listening of the church to the questions of the world, of the culture, the taking of those questions into the praying life of Christ in this place, and then return with fresh answers, a fresh word of grace and hope.’
