Dr Cath McKinney

BEd, MAppSci, GradDipTh, PhD

Cath is the Professional Supervision Program Director at the University of Divinity. She has extensive experience as a group relations consultant where she specialises in helping people to flourish as they take up their roles.

Cath graduated with her Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Divinity (through Pilgrim Theological College) in 2020. Her thesis, entitled Leading Saturday Lives is centred around the experience of disappointment as central to an authentic understanding of a Christian theology – from Mary as bereaved mother to the presence of the absence of God in the disappointment of Holy Saturday. Her research was stirred by her work as a prison chaplain and as a minister in an inner-city community church for many years.

Cath specialises in teaching Professional Supervision, Practical Theology and Ministry Studies, Leadership and Group Relations.
