Dr Anna Ruddick

Anna is a community theologian and researcher who facilitates theological reflection and learning for leaders, congregations and Christian organisations seeking to deepen and strengthen their relationships with their local community.

She holds a Doctorate in Practical Theology and draws on learning from different disciplines including Community Development, Practical Theology and Qualitative research practices.

In both formal and informal learning environments she aims to encourage people to act in their communities with courage and humility, to be attentive to dynamics of power and inequality, and to participate in the flourishing of our communities alongside people who are different from themselves.

Anna lives in Leicester with her husband Andrew and son Noah.
