Dr. Patrick Haley

Dr. Patrick Haley is a postdoctoral fellow with joint appointments on the Faith, Formation, and Education team at Trinity Church, NYC, and at Princeton Theological Seminary, where he recently completed his PhD in Theology, Ethics, and Politics. His research reexamines the language Christians use in their daily lives, especially where terms and concepts have become muddled or contested. Patrick’s first book project, The Divine Image and Human Language, challenges Christians to be more thoughtful when speaking of fellow human beings as bearing the “image of God,” since such language is often put to contradictory ends. He also writes and speaks on topics such as virtue ethics, political theology, and the science-religion dialogue. Patrick currently serves as executive director for the Fellowship for Protestant Ethics, and he is a postulant for holy orders in the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey.
