About Charles S. McCoy
Dr. McCoy (1923-2002) served for 33 years as the Robert Gordon Sproul Professor of Theological Ethics at Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley before he retired in 1992. In addition to a long and distinguished career as an internationally recognized theologian and ethicist, he was instrumental in the creation of the Graduate Theological Union and its Center for Ethics and Social Policy. A graduate of Yale University and an ordained United Methodist pastor, McCoy authored many books and articles and served as a scholar, activist, and teacher.
Dr. McCoy believed that there not only needed to be a constant dialogue between theology and ethics, but that the dialogue had to be equally informed by the insights of public policy. His goal was to create a theology and ethics that spoke to the issues of the day.
