Ashley Null
John Ashley Null (born 1960 or 1961) is an American theologian and Anglican bishop. As an academic, he is best known for his research on the theology of Thomas Cranmer, particularly Cranmer's doctrines of repentance and scripture, and his influence on the English Reformation. Null's capsule summary of Cranmer's doctrine of anthropology has been widely quoted and is often misattributed directly to Cranmer: "What the heart loves, the will chooses, and the mind justifies." Null also works as a sports chaplain, counseling Olympic and other elite athletes. Ordained in the Episcopal Church, he was canon theologian in the Diocese of Western Kansas but maintained close ties to the Anglican realignment movement as a theological adviser to the Anglican Church in North America's Diocese of the Carolinas. He was also a canon theologian at St. Mark's Pro-Cathedral in Alexandria, Egypt and board chairman of the Alexandria School of Theology, both part of the Anglican Province of Alexandria. ...
