Brian Flanagan is Associate Professor of Theology at Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia. He completed his PhD at Boston College and pursues research in ecclesiology, ecumenism, and liturgy.

A native Rhode Islander, he loves the Red Sox, DC United, knitting, fife and drum music, and his dachshunds -- not necessarily in that order.
