Dr Vicky Gunn
Dr Gunn is a Christian ecuminist and a lecturer in historical Theology.
In this essay, Dr Gunn discusses her powerful understand of the “Historical Imaginary” to suggest ways in which an understanding of medieval church history can be of benefit within Christian ministry and community. Offering some useful theoretical frameworks, she then goes on to work them into the practical, utilising case studies of this “historical imaginary” in practice, as she explores the imoplications for practical Queer theology. Reminding us always to avoid naivety and encouraging us to humour, Dr Gunn leads us into a Queered reading of ecclesiastical history; as vocational as it is enlightening.
