Benjamin Hopkins is a postulant to the priesthood from the Diocese of Western North Carolina and is proud to be a member of the second cohort of fully hybrid M.Div. students at General Theological Seminary. When he is not working on coursework for seminary or interning at a local parish, Ben is learning to grow food on a small farm in the foothills. He is grateful to share a life with his wife, Rebekah, and their two demanding cats, Jack and Lola. Ben loves to be in nature, hiking, camping, or just being.
