The Rector

 

Rev. Dr. Ron Elsdon

Ron Elsdon became Rector in April 2002. Before ordination he worked as a geologist at UCD. A Christian since research student days, he wants to commend Christian faith to people tempted to write it off. He has written and lectured widely on science and faith, Christianity and green issues, and the ethics of information technology. He hates the thought of ‘religion’ that doesn’t work in the rest of life.
