Timothy Radcliffe

Timothy Radcliffe, OP (1945, London–) is a Catholic priest and Dominican friar of the English Province, and former Master of the Order of Preachers from 1992-2001. He is the only member of the English Province of the Dominicans to have held the office since the Order's foundation in 1216.

Before Radcliffe became Master of the Dominican Order, he had been the Prior Provincial of the Dominicans in England. Widely regarded as theologically progressive, he is a member of the Dominican priory at Blackfriars, Oxford and a renowned and highly sought after speaker.

He was the 2007 winner of the The Michael Ramsey Prize for theological writing, for his book What Is the Point of Being A Christian?

Radcliffe is patron of the International Young Leaders Network and helped to launch the Las Casas Institute on ethics, governance and social justice. These are both projects of Blackfriars Hall, University of Oxford.

Radcliffe has backed priestly marriage, sometimes called clerogamy.^[1]
