Mark Luttio
Theology
Dr. Mark Luttio has been teaching in academia for nearly 30 years — including Saint Mary’s College Notre Dame and Lynn University. Mark is a U.S. citizen, but born and raised in Asia and thus often described as an Asian soul in a Caucasian body. In 2017 he was awarded a faculty fellowship to travel the world for 6 months researching the different faith traditions of our globe. His passion is finding ways to build bridges rather than barriers in inter-religious dialogue. He teaches World Religion, Christian Morality, and Faith and Social Justice.
