Rev. Joash P. Thomas is a public theologian, international speaker, and author. Drawing from his St. Thomas Christian roots and a decolonized, Jesus and justice-centered understanding of Scripture, Joash helps audiences reimagine a faith that unites rather than divides—and that stands firmly with neighbors on the margins. Through speaking engagements, teaching, and advocacy, he calls Christians to a more contemplative yet courageous activism, motivated by the grace-filled, non-violent way of Jesus.

Born and raised in India, Joash served as a U.S. political consultant and lobbyist before pivoting to global human rights advocacy. Now based in the Toronto area, he holds a master’s degree in Political Management from The George Washington University in addition to two master’s degrees from Dallas Theological Seminary in Christian Leadership and Theology. An ordained Priest in the Diocese of St. Anthony, Joash is also the author of the newly released book, The Justice of Jesus (published by Brazos Press / Baker Publishing).
