Grattan Brown, S.Th.D

In college I came to believe that God exists, that there are communities in which to learn about God, and that I would look first in the Catholic Church, in which I was raised. Having a scholarly bent, I studied the Catholic intellectual tradition to understand God and to learn a way of life. 

I look for wisdom in the virtue and natural law traditions, biblical wisdom literature, and Catholic medical, marital and social ethics. I have a heart for mentoring and help people from diverse religious and non-religious traditions to improve their performance and develop a sense of purpose to pursue in life and work. I also collaborate with professionals of religious and secular backgrounds in higher education, healthcare and business. I have written and taught about bioethics, liberal arts, and the moral culture of democracy and capitalism.

I have a compelling interest in: 

• Education because learning enables people to know themselves, their society, and the subjects meaningful to them in life and work

• Biotech because it integrates the humanities, science and technology to enhance human wellness and to shape our views of being human

• Business because high performance work provides resources, cultivates character and happiness, and expands social freedom

Find my professional activities on my LI page, but in sum: 20+ years of learning and teaching the humanities to enable private and non-profit organizations to identify problems, conceive solutions, and better educate students, patients, and customers..
