Dr. Mark Torgerson
Department Chair of Christian Leadership
Dr. Torgerson teaches in the areas of Christian theology, worship, comparative religion, and religious space design. He enjoys exploring the intersection between religion and material culture, both in the United States and abroad. Historic and contemporary Christian (Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestant) and Jewish houses of worship are favorite destinations. Sojourns in Japan, China, Peru, Tanzania, Turkey, India, and Nepal have provided first-hand opportunities to experience Shinto, Dao, Confucian, Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, and indigenous holy sites. Remarkable works of art and natural features at these destinations added layers of beauty and wonder to the encounters.
