Andrew Suderman, PhD, MTS, currently serves as the Secretary of Mennonite World Conference’s Peace Commission and has been an Associate Professor in Theology, Peace, and Mission at Eastern Mennonite University for the past 10 years. Prior to that, Andrew spent seven years in South Africa, which included completing his PhD at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Andrew’s particular interest lies in exploring how we embody our theological convictions and how our lived experience and journey affect the way in which we understand God’s work and mission in the world. Throughout his life, Andrew has sought ways to balance the academy and classroom on the one hand, while also finding ways of participating in different struggles and lived ministerial and practical experiences on the other
After completing his MTS at Grebel in 2009, this summer Andrew and his family have returned to Ontario, where Andrew will also be teaching a class in the Master of Peace and Studies program on Culture, Religion, and Peacebuilding.
