The Life and Ministry of
Msgr. Dr. Peter Hocken.
Fr. Peter Hocken (1932–2017) was a British Roman Catholic priest, theologian, and historian, best known for his scholarship and leadership within the Catholic Charismatic Renewal and his pioneering involvement in ecumenical and Messianic Jewish dialogue. He was a theological champion and mentor for many, working tirelessly for unity between believers in Jesus, Jews and Gentiles alike. He sensed that the baptism in the Holy Spirit, unity in the Body and the resurrection of the Jewish believers are one great move of the Spirit to prepare the Bride for the return of the Lord. We will delve into many aspects of Fr. Peter’s academic, prophetic, and teaching ministry that have significant impacts today.
The future is together.
