Dusty Gates, an alumnus of the MA in Theology program, recently had an article published by the pastoral magazine, Homiletic & Pastoral Review. In the article, “The Holy Cross: A Real Life “Mockingjay” for Catholics,” Gates makes connections between the popular Hunger Games trilogy and the Catholic faith. In his position as Director of Adult Education at the Spiritual Life Center in Wichita, KS, Gates has taught classes on the Hunger Games books and a range of other current issues.
