We are very sad to report the death of Al McDonald on 21 November 2019. Without his vision and generosity there would be no McDonald Centre. We lament his passing and remain enormously grateful for his support.
The photograph displayed shows Al McDonald standing in the centre of the middle row of McDonald Distinguished Scholars for Christ at the McDonald Centre's 2012 conference, 'The Flourishing of Universities'.

The McDonald Centre fosters conversation both between Christian theology and other disciplines, and between academia and those who shape public deliberation and policy. Into its discussions it draws scholars from around the world, as well as public office-holders, civil servants, policy-makers, and opinion-formers. By publishing the research it supports, the Centre communicates to academic, church, and wider public audiences. The work of the Centre responds to a growing awareness that sensitively engaged and carefully articulated moral and political theology has an important contribution to make to the flourishing of institutions and individuals within liberal democracies.
The McDonald Centre for Theology, Ethics & Public Life is a research institute at the University of Oxford.
