Having first graduated in Law, Graham Adams trained for Congregational ministry, studying Contextual Theology at Northern College, part of the ecumenical partnership at Luther King House (LKH) in Manchester. He has been in ministry since 2002 with Lees Street Congregational Church, in an inner-city ward of Manchester. Several experiences with the World Church, not least a Study Tour of Israel/Palestine, have sharpened his interest in religious diversity and political engagement. Graham undertook research with the University of Leeds, graduating with a PhD in 2008. He has worked in theological education since 2003, at LKH, on the Congregational Federation’s distance-learning Foundation Degree in Practical Theology, recently devising its BA level, and now has been appointed as Tutor in World Christianity and World Faiths, Northern College.
