Dr. McMillan has long held the belief that there is more that can be done to change the way churches view the Monday to Sunday divide. This connection between faith and work has been a driving ambition. He has been centrally involved with a strategy to change the way theological seminaries view the integration of faith and work. He mentors young aspiring leaders and board chairs.
His research interests have included examining the way businesses view the impact they have on humanity. A major research study that continues today is the study of loneliness. He is also conducting research on Rembrandt’s painting of the Prodigal Son.
