Professor Mary Grey: theologian and writer

Mary Grey focuses on liberation theology and social justice and her work is nourished by the experience of co-founding Wells for India with her husband Nicholas in 1987 and frequent visits to Rajasthan. Recent books include Feminist Images of God; Sacred Longings: Ecofeminist Theology and Globalisation; The Unheard Scream – the Struggles of Dalit Women in India; Pursuing the Dream – a Jewish-Christian Conversation, with Rabbi Dan Cohn Sherbok; Beyond the Dark Night – A way forward for the Church? She is now based at St Mary's University College, Twickenham with a research focus.
