Ben Akers
Associate Professor of Theology and Executive Director of FORMED. He has always had a desire to participate in the work of the New Evangelization through teaching. He's been able to participate in this work through evangelization on college campuses with FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) and in theological and catechetical formation in the Archdiocese of Denver as director of the Denver Catholic Biblical School and Catechetical School and adjunct for the St. John Vianney Theological Seminary. His experience living and studying in the heart of the Catholic Church in Rome, Italy, inspired him to work for the New Evangelization in a way that integrates history, art, literature and spirituality.
