As I move into retirement after 30 plus years of pastoral ministry, leading retreats within Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox communities, teaching spiritual formation at the graduate level and participating in structured dialogues about science and religion, I find myself eager to continue to study, grow and discover new ideas and new connections.
My loving wife, my wonderful daughter and son and my two grandchildren all are a part of my journey as well. They keep me rooted and filled with joy and wonder.
My education spans the state colleges [Adams State in Colorado and Morehead State in Kentucky], the private schools [graduate work at Princeton, University and Seminary] and even summer courses overseas [Christ Church at Oxford, Great Britain]. The areas of study, both in structured classroom settings and in my own research probably shows my ADD side: monasticism, physics / quantum mechanics, literature, art, mathematics, theology, music / opera, poetry, philosophy, mysticism, neuroscience and spiritual formation.
This website / blogsite is a response to requests from some that we study and journey together. It will slowly expand through the weeks, months and years... or it will disappear all together. Several of us will begin walking through the entire Divine Comedy by Dante, not with me doing all the work, but with all of us involved in reading a canto a week or so, and then sharing insights, discoveries, etc. I will add other posts as I study in other areas.
Join us in the journey! I find this life of growth to be one of "Perpetual Astonishment."
