The Revd Steve Brunn Appointed Dean of Residence of Trinity College
The Revd Steve Brunn has been appointed Dean of Residence and Church of Ireland Chaplain of Trinity College, University of Dublin. The appointment takes effect from the beginning of the second semester, mid–January 2016.
Steve (pictured), who currently serves in the Diocese of Guildford in the Church of England, has previously worked with students as a teaching assistant at Aberdeen University and as a trained counsellor, and is now looking forward to engaging with university and student chaplaincy.
Before joining the Anglican Church, Steve was minister of a large inner city church in Aberdeen serving young families and many students. Alongside this he was a teaching assistant at Aberdeen University.
He has also taught at the Centre for Youth Ministry at Cambridge focussing on subjects such as theology, art, film and identity and the church in the postmodern west. He worked at Royal Holloway University of London as a counsellor whilst serving his curacy. Steve is married to Sharon and they have three children.
The Archbishop of Dublin, the Most Reverend Michael Jackson, has commented that “Steve’s arrival will be a welcome addition to the growing number of chaplains serving in the third level colleges and institutions in Dublin. I welcome his appointment and look forward to working with him in an area of ministry that is both demanding and rewarding”.
Steve said he was eagerly anticipating his move to Dublin. “I am really looking forward to getting to know Trinity, its students and staff and the wider education institutions in Dublin. I have for many years believed chaplaincy was where I was called and feel very privileged to come to this new vocation,” he commented.
