[December 14, 2011]  Lincoln Christian University is pleased to announce the calling of Dr. Rochelle Cathcart, effective Jan. 1, as assistant professor of intercultural studies. Cathcart will teach intercultural studies courses in the Seminary. She will also develop and direct a new online master's degree in intercultural studies for the School of Adult & Graduate Studies.

Cathcart served four years as an associate pastor in Salt Lake City with a cross-cultural new church plant among Mormons. She has also had a number of short-term missions experiences in Thailand, Cambodia, inner city Los Angeles and a reservation in Arizona.

Her doctoral dissertation is entitled "Preaching and Culture: An In-depth Analysis of the Engagements with Culture in the Sermons of Rob Bell, Timothy Keller, and Michael Pfleger." That project has allowed her to do extensive research in a variety of cultural settings, from small town to inner city, from immigrant populations to African-American communities.

Dr. Robert Priest, one of the world's foremost missiologists and her doctoral adviser at Trinity International University, writes this of Cathcart: "She is one of the most academically gifted students we have had in our PhD program. ... Her dissertation work is pioneering a new area of missiology ..., and I have every confidence that her work will shape the field of missiology for years to come."

Established in 1944, Lincoln Christian University is a Christian higher education community whose mission is to nurture and equip Christians with a biblical worldview to serve and lead in the church and the world.
