Executive Director

In March 2017, ISCAST appointed Rev. Dr Chris Mulherin as ISCAST’s first Executive Director (part time: 0.6 FTE). Chris has brought direction and focus, and developed new ventures so that ISCAST might achieve its goals.

About Chris

Rev. Dr Chris Mulherin is an Anglican minister with a background in engineering, philosophy, and theology. Chris’s doctorate in philosophical theology and philosophy of science dealt with the relationship between scientific and other knowledge claims such as those of theology.

Prior to starting with ISCAST, Chris filled various roles, including a year as locum vicar, at St Jude’s Anglican Church in Carlton. In the more distant past, Chris has worked for Scripture Union, taught engineering, philosophy, and theology, and spent 13 years in Argentina as a missionary with his wife Lindy and their five boys. In Argentina, Chris worked for the IFES-affilliated national student Christian group and pastored a church in the northwestern city of Tucumán.

Chris has published articles and book chapters in the media and in academic works. His book Science and Christianity: Understanding the Conflict Myth, designed for use in schools and churches, is available from ISCAST. He has also produced ABC Radio National programs, and he blogged on the Global Atheist Convention for ABC RN. When he is not working for ISCAST, he teaches and tutors at various universities in Melbourne in philosophy, history of science, Christian apologetics, and climate change. He is currently co-supervising a PhD candidate working on Husserl, Heidegger, Gadamer, and the question of whether all human understanding is linguistic.
