The Division of Mission and Heritage announced on Friday, April 24, 2009 that Dr. Robert Pyne has accepted the position of Director of the Peace and Justice Center. Pyne will begin on July 1, 2009.
Pyne was on campus for an open forum, but those who were not able to attend could view his resume online.
Pyne taught at the Dallas Theological Seminary for 17 years until his increasing commitment toward human dignity and the ministry of reconciliation led him in a different direction. Pyne became Director of Leadership Development for African Leadership and Reconciliation Ministries (ALARM). ALARM focuses on reconciliation, peace-building and human rights training. Pyne spent the majority of his time in Africa conducting training for pastors and community leaders.
Pyne planned on returning to higher education, but he was changed by the hard realities he witnessed. He wanted to remain an advocate for those who are powerless and voiceless. He then decided to apply for the Director of the Peace and Justice Center at St. Norbert College.
In addition to working for ALARM, Pyne has worked internationally and domestically for human rights and human dignity for groups as diverse as Joni and Friends and the Christian Medical and Dental Society. He has also conducted workshops on the causes of disability, the universal dignity conferred upon humans in the image of God, and the meaning of a fully human life.
Pyne enjoys working with students and is anxious to start his new position.
