Michael Battle, Ph.D., chaplain to the 2008 Lambeth Conference, Provost and Canon Theologian for the Diocese of Los Angeles, and priest-in-charge of the Church of Our Saviour, San Gabriel. Dr. Battle is a former professor at the University of the South and Duke University and former academic dean at Virginia Theological Seminary. His subject will be the concept of Ubuntu: what it isn’t (self-identity through competition), what it is (self-identity through community), and its usefulness in our times as a spiritual framework for global community. Ordained to the priesthood by Archbishop Desmond Tutu in 1993, Dr. Battle is a well-known writer, speaker and retreat leader. His ministry covers the globe and focuses on Christian non-violence, human spirituality, and African Church studies.
