Andrew Gregory

Chaplain and Welfare Fellow

Research

My research focuses on the New Testament (especially the gospels and Acts) and other early Christian literature (especially the Apostolic Fathers and Christian Apocrypha). I am co-editor of two series of early Christian texts published by Oxford University Press: the Oxford Apostolic Fathers, and the Oxford Early Christian Gospel Texts.

I am currently working on the reception of traditions about Jesus in the period after the New Testament, on Christian Apocrypha, and on a guide to Choral Evensong as both an aesthetic experience and a form of Christian worship. It is provisionally entitled: Choral Evensong: for Atheists and Nones?

Responsibilities as Chaplain and Welfare Fellow

There are two main components to the role of Chaplain: pastoral care, and oversight of the Chapel.

As one of a number of officers who shares responsibility for welfare in Univ, I am readily available to all members of the college and to its staff who are welcome to contact me at any time. The College has a very diverse community, and most of my work takes place in a context of pastoral support in which no assumptions are made as to whether individuals hold to any religious beliefs or to none.  My room is on Staircase 6, in the Main Quad, the telephone number is 2-76663. I live nearby and can easily be contacted via the Porters’ Lodge if not in College.  If you wish to do so, you are welcome to call in socially, or talk to me in confidence at any time and on any matter.
