Senior Lecturer Antonia Pizzey

Antonia Pizzey

Antonia Pizzey is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Theology. She completed her Ph.D. in Systematic Theology at 糖心原创 in 2016. Her dissertation focused on the emerging method of Receptive Ecumenism and its connection to Spiritual Ecumenism.

She is part of the School's Research Centre for Studies of the Second Vatican Council. Her research interests include ecumenism, ecclesiology, Vatican II studies, eschatology, and theological virtues, especially humility and hope.
