Rev. Dr. Anna Robbins
I am pleased to announce that the Board of Trustees of Acadia Divinity College (ADC) has appointed Dr. Anna Robbins as the Director of Doctoral Studies, overseeing the Acadia Doctor of Ministry program, and Academic Dean of Acadia Divinity College. Dr. Robbins will serve as Associate Professor of Theology, Culture and Ethics.


For the past twelve years she has served at the London School of Theology in the United Kingdom as Lecturer in Theology and Contemporary Culture, Director of Training, Vice-Principal, Acting Principal, and Senior Lecturer. She has taught courses on culture, ethics, apologetics, religion, philosophy, theological method, evangelism, and others. She also served in leading curriculum revision for undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses.


Between 1991 and 1997, Robbins served in three different local churches in Nova Scotia. She was the Minister of Youth and Christian Education at Aylesford United Baptist Church, the Interim Pastor at Digby United Baptist Church, and the Minister of Youth and Christian Education at Clementsvale United Baptist Church.


Robbins is a graduate of Acadia University, having received her Master of Arts (Theology) in 1997 and her Master of Religious Education in 1993. On both occasions, she graduated first in her class. Robbins also holds degrees from University of Wales (2001, Doctor of Philosophy) and Carleton University (1989, Bachelor of Arts). Her doctoral dissertation is entitled Common Sense in Uncommon Degrees: Methodological Diversity in Twentieth-Century Christian Social Ethics.
