Meet Matthew Coomber. Coomber teaches theology courses at St. Ambrose. He and Ryan discuss the complicated path which lead him to become a theology professor. Coomber converted to Buddhism from Christianity during undergrad. After five years, he converted back to Christianity, went on to get a Ph.D. in Biblical Studies, and is an ordained Episcopal priest.
They also discuss what it's like to live abroad, Coomber's involvement as a "red zone" during protests, his anti-war efforts in the early 2000s, and so much more!
Welcome to the Who's Who of SAU! Join Ryan Sandness as he takes an intimate look at the faculty and staff members of St. Ambrose University. We'll learn about their hobbies, personal life, and interests beyond their field.
Look for new episodes on Tuesdays!
