Dr. Lisa Withrow

Dr. Lisa M. Hess exhibits the high intelligence of a well-versed academic in her field. This accomplishment, combined with spiritual creativity, administrative acumen, makes her a unique voice in practical theology, spanning disciplines and calling the academy to a new framework for learning and teaching. Dr. Hess brings life, intelligence and energy to every situation she encounters with non-anxious presence, quick wit and spiritual centeredness. Colleagues are impressed with her work and leadership at the national level as well as at UTS. Dr. Hess would grace any faculty or learning community where she would find herself. I enthusiastically recommend her work, thought and practice to those who are searching for a fine practical theologian. Dr. Lisa Withrow Professor of Christian Leadership Methodist Theological School in Ohio
