Christine has been involved in teaching, administration and academic leadership within The Salvation Army for many years. She has taught in a number of areas including spirituality, theology, and ministry. An officer for 40 years, she recently retired from active service, but continues to practice as a spiritual director and pastoral supervisor.
Her master’s thesis (2009) focused on the presence of the contemplative tradition in the history of The Salvation Army and was published as the book, Other Voices . Her recently completed PhD, “Challenging history and telling herstory,” explores the issue of gender inequality in Salvation Army officership and challenges the historical narrative that women were granted equality from the inception of the movement.
