Riddick served the Moravian Church as the Director of College-Age Ministry and as the pastor of Fairview Moravian Church.  In addition to enjoying preaching and teaching Sunday School classes and Bible studies, Riddick enjoys vocal and instrumental music.  He enjoys music from Bach to the Beatles, from Wagner to the Who and is interested in the religious themes that can be found in their music.  Riddick’s research addresses the radical and integrated liturgical, cultural and social creativity of the 18th century Moravian Church.  His classes give students the opportunities to explore how the creative use of religious traditions and social structures may empower the church to address the challenges it faces today.  Likewise he hopes that the Seminary can play a leading role in helping the broader church experiment with and develop ever more effective methods for outreach, service and evangelism.
