The Rev. Dr. Benjamin Wall

Generally known as “Father Benjamin,” he serves as one of our priests here at Redeemer. He has previously served as our Pastoral Care Director, but now works full-time with our diocese, serving as the Director for Leadership Development for the Triad Deanery. Benjamin is also the Director of the Center for Pastoral Formation (one of our Abbey ministries) which helps lay people discern their call to ministry and become equipped for participating in Christ’s ministry.

He is our "theologian in residence" doing work on the intersection of disability, mental health, and Christian faith. He holds a B.A. in Biblical Studies, an M.A. in Christian Ethics, and a Th.M. in Theology with a focus on environmental ethics. He also holds a Ph.D. in Practical Theology from the University of Aberdeen, where he wrote his dissertation: "Listening as Worship in the Shaping of Christian Ethos—Community, Care, and Faith—According to the Rule of St. Benedict and Jean Vanier." He authored Welcome as a Way of Life, and he has been a professor at several institutions of higher education and was a mental health professional for 10+ years.
