If our faith does not stretch our minds it will probably not stretch our lives.

Lincoln is at present tutor in Theology at SEITE, and part-time curate at St John-at-Hackney, where he is engaged in a varied ministry including a 'pub-based theology group as mission'. He has a BA in Politics and did his doctoral work in systematic theology under Colin Gunton at King's College London. He is a former Franciscan novice, who describes himself as 'passionate about the gospel, with my work in theological education as an attempt to help Christians understand their faith in order to further the mission of the church today.' He will have particular responsibility for working closely with the Chelmsford Diocese. He loves reading, swimming, walking and is an Arsenal season ticket holder, and will take up his position at St Mellitus at the start of the summer term - 12th April 2010.
The Bishop of London Richard Chartres
“At a time when fragmentation and partisanship can appear to threaten the credibility and effectiveness of our ministry, St Mellitus represents a bold step of faith and trust. We believe that as we pursue the harder path of unity in diversity, the College will prove to be an instrument of the Spirit in equipping the whole people of God to proclaim the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
The Bishop of Chelmsford John Gladwin
“The establishment of St Mellitus College is an exciting development for Chelmsford Diocese. It offers us new opportunities to develop theological and ministerial education to assist us in the mission of the Gospel in our time.”
The Dean Revd Dr Graham Tomlin
“St Mellitus College is a very exciting place to work. It brings together students from across the spectrum of the church to learn about and prepare for mission in the contemporary world, in a way that tries to be open to the Spirit of God and learning from each other. We have a fantastic group of students, a great staff team and it is a privilege to be part of it.”
