Albert J.D. Walsh

The Rev. Dr. Albert J.D. Walsh was ordained in the United Church of Christ in 1981, after completing his Master of Divinity Degree at Princeton Theological Seminary. Dr. Walsh has also completed the following degree programs: Master of Sacred Theology, Lutheran Seminary of Philadelphia; Master of Arts in Pastoral Counseling, Moravian Seminary, Bethlehem, PA; Doctor of Ministry in Reformed Theology (Ecumenical focus), Pittsburgh Seminary and the University of Aberdeen. Dr. Walsh was the recipient of the Richard J. Rapp Memorial Award in Doctor of Ministry Studies, for his thesis published as "United and Uniting: An Ecumenical Ecclesiology for a Church is Crisis" (Wipf & Stock), available from Amazon. His sermons have been published in "The Minister's Manual" (1986-2007); his article on the relationship between science and Christian faith is available online from the "Oxford Round Table." His other publications include: "Reflections on Death and Grief: Pastoral Insights;" "The Eucharist's Biographer: The Liturgical Formation of Christian Identity;" "Slices of Life: The Drama of God's Grace in Poem and Portrait," and "A Pastoral Proposal for an Evangelical Theology of Freedom: A Respectful Response to the Expressed Hope of Dr. Karl Barth (available on Kindle);" all available on Amazon and published by Wipf & Stock. Dr. Walsh has experienced a rich and variegated spiritual journey, having been raised a Roman Catholic, re-entering the Christian faith via a "conversion" experience, and remaining within the UCC for the past thirty-one years. Dr. Walsh has four grandchildren, and loves fly fishing--whenever he finds time away from pastoral obligations. He is presently working on a short novel, a collection of sermons, and an essay on the sacrament of baptism.
