So very well deserved. Gary‘s understanding and teaching on Merton’s spirituality has been so very much appreciated here @queens.ac.uk . He even managed a cheeky reference to Merton in his sermon yesterday at the Methodist leavers’ service!
The President of the International Thomas Merton Society mertoncenter.bsky.social announced that Queen's tutor Gary Hall will receive an international award for 'a significant contribution on an international level to the promotion of Merton's writings and the presentation of his ideas'
