This blog will grow from my work, at the United Methodist Board of Church and Society, work that I love, connecting the ministry of the church with making a difference in the world. Moving out of the pews into the streets to stand for progressive, faithful change.

Name:
Location: Manassas, Virginia, United States

I work with the United Methodist Church General Board of Church and Society which is located in the United Methodist Building next to the Supreme Court on Capitol Hill. (amazing real estate!) In my work I train church leaders and members about faith and public policy issues and how they can be engaged in the process. I began work at GBCS Feb. 1, 2001. So George Bush has been in his office one week longer than me (a coincidence that's not my fault). In my previous life I served as a pastor in South Carolina and Virginia for about 16 years. Now my wife, Denise, is the only pastor in our family and I'm the pastor's spouse. We have two sensational daughters, Allison and Carly who are 21 and 17.

Ready to have my say

On my desk is a quote from a decent poet (Henry Van Dyke) - "The woods would be a quiet place if the only birds sang were the ones who sang best." So this will be my song. Maybe not the most polished blog or the most profound but it will be things I like, things I'm pondering. Thoughts I'm working through.
