About

“The image of God, also known as the imago Dei, is not a supplementary gift or addendum, nor is it accidental.  The imago Dei is irrevocable.” – Ekemini Uwan

Clare Williams-Sarpong is an Associate Speaker and Tutor at the OCCA The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics. Her work focuses upon questions of race, justice, culture, and what the Christian message has to offer these big concepts. 

Prior to her work in apologetics, she was an English teacher in London secondary schools for ten years. Clare has a degree in English Language and Literature from Oxford University, and a Masters in Leadership (2012) and Culture, Diaspora and Ethnicity (2021) from the University of London.
