Author: Adam Morton

  • Adam Morton grew up on an assortment of US Air Force bases, and is the son, brother, and nephew (three times over) of Lutheran pastors. A graduate of Luther College and Luther Seminary, he is ordained in the ELCA and served parishes in central Pennsylvania for the better part of a decade. In 2022 he completed his PhD in theology at the University of Nottingham and relocated there with his family to take up a research position (aka, writing a strange book he still hasn't finished). These days he teaches theology within a very large philosophy department and inflicts as much Luther on his students as he can get away with. His wife Tasha, also ordained in the ELCA, is somehow a priest in the Church of England and in charge of two medieval churches and all the souls in a sizable chunk of the east side of Nottingham. Their math and NFL-obsessed son John is in Year 6 (UK equivalent of 5th grade) and speaks with an increasingly funny accent. Adam likes food, games with too many rules, and shouting at his cats and various pieces of technology.
