About James Alison
James Alison is a theologian known for his firm and patient persistence in promoting truthful conversation and dialogue in the Church with regard to matters LGBTQIA+ and for his pastoral outreach in the same sphere. He shares a vision of an inclusive, psychologically healthy Christian life that is scripturally based, theologically orthodox, and ecclesially grounded. He is also renowned for his application of René Girard's anthropological insight to Christian Systematic Theology.
James joined the Mexican Dominicans in 1981 and completed the novitiate in England, at Blackfriars, Oxford. He was ordained in 1988. From 1987, James studied at the Jesuit theology faculty in Brazil and completed his doctoral thesis by 1994.
Over the last thirty years, James has been a prolific writer and his books have been translated into six languages. Currently he works as a travelling preacher, lecturer and retreat giver, based in Madrid, Spain. James has been to Australia in 2004, 2010, 2014 and 2016.
