Adam grew up in the US where he was raised
bilingual English and Japanese. He completed
a BA in Comparative Religion and Philosophy
from Sophia University in Tokyo, Japan. During
graduate school, Adam received a fellowship
from the Japan-America Society to conduct a
year of research in Japan on post-WWII
Japanese religious movements. It was during
this year in Japan that Adam changed his field to
Thai Studies. Adam graduated with a Master of
Theological Studies from Harvard University
where he studied Thai religion with Dr. Donald
K. Swearer, a leading scholar in the field of Thai
Buddhism and long-term researcher in Chiang
Mai.  Source
A native of the Bay Islands, a former British colony off the
coast of Honduras, Eva Pascal's teaching focuses on
the intersection between gender and theology. A faculty
member in the International Master's of Divinity program
at McGilvary College of Divinity, "Ajan Eva," as she is
known on campus, also teaches a class on World
Religions in the International College. Eva graduated
with a BA in Religion and Philosophy from La Sierra
University and a Master's of Divinity from Harvard Divinity
School where she studied with Elisabeth
Schussler-Fiorenza and Sarah Coakley. In constant
search of good music and theological innovation, while
in graduate school, Eva conducted research on the
theology of Bob Marley's reggae music. It was during
this time that Eva first encountered the religions and
cultures of Southeast Asia in a seminar she took with
Dr. Donald K. Swearer who encouraged her to expand
her research to include Asian expressions of
Christianity. Eva has been teaching at Payap since
August 2006 and thoroughly enjoys the diversity of
backgrounds and passion that drive so many of her
students.  Eva suffers from two uncontrollable
obsessions: sports and chocolate.  August 2008.
