The page currently includes irrelevant and inaccurate information. At the request of the subject, it is asked that the page read (none of this is copyrighted material, outside of fair use):

"Gary Dorrien is an American social ethicist and theologian. He is Reinhold Niebuhr Professor of Social Ethics at Union Theological Seminary and Professor of Religion at Columbia University, both in New York City. [1]

Dorrien is the author of 17 books and over 300 articles on ethics, social theory, philosophy, theology, politics, and intellectual history. [2] His book Kantian Reason and Hegelian Spirit: The Idealistic Logic of Modern Theology won the Association of American Publishers’ PROSE Award in 2013. [3] His book Social Ethics in the Making won the Choice Award in 2009 and was described as a “magnificent, sprawling and monumental book.” [4] Over thirty reviewers described Dorrien’s three-volume The Making of American Liberal Theology as the definitive work in the field. The Expository Times called it “an endeavor best described, by all accounts, as magisterial, definitive, and authoritative.” [5]

Prior to joining the faculty at Union and Columbia in 2005, Dorrien taught at Kalamazoo College in Michigan, where he served as Parfet Distinguished Professor and as Dean of Stetson Chapel. [6] An Episcopal priest, he has taught as the Paul E. Raither Distinguished Scholar at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut and as Horace De Y. Lentz Visiting Professor at Harvard Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. [7]

Semi-protected edit request on 26 November 2016
I submitted an edit request a few days ago and haven't received a response.

If I'm unable to edit the article, I would like to request four changes.

1. Dorrien has now published 17 books, not 14. 2. Please remove the section about Dorrien studying at Harvard (he never finished a degree there, and so is irrelevant to his career as a scholar. However, he has taught as a visiting professor at Harvard). 3. Remove the information about Dorrien being raised Catholic. The supporting link is broken, and is overall irrelevant to his work as a scholar. 4. Move the mention of his being an Episcopal priest to somewhere later in the article. Putting it at the beginning emphasizes it and makes it sound as though he is routinely serving a church, which he is not. It would make more sense to read, "Dorrien is ordained as a priest in the Episcopal church."

His latest book also needs to be added, and he has an additional (which will be his 18th) forthcoming.
