Drawing from his St. Thomas Christian roots and a decolonized, Jesus-centered and justice-oriented understanding of Scripture, Fr. Joash P. Thomas is an author, speaker, public theologian, and global advocate for liberation who helps audiences reimagine a faith that unites rather than divides—and that stands firmly with neighbours on the margins. Through speaking engagements, teaching, and advocacy, he calls Christians to a more contemplative yet courageous activism, motivated by the grace-filled, non-violent way of Jesus.

Born and raised in India, Fr. Joash served as a U.S. political consultant and lobbyist before pivoting to global human rights advocacy. Now based in the Toronto area, he holds a master’s degree in Political Management from The George Washington University and holds two master’s degrees from Dallas Theological Seminary in Christian Leadership and Theology. An ordained Priest in the Diocese of St. Anthony, Fr. Joash is also the author of the widely-read book, The Justice of Jesus (published by Brazos Press / Baker Publishing).
