From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello! I'm adding this userpage for two reasons: to introduce myself, and to get acquainted with the Wikipedia editing process. This page itself is a work in progress...just like Wikipedia.

The basics

[edit]
  • I'm a 60's-something white male living in Northern California
  • I lived all around the world growing up (my parents were teachers in American schools in the 1960's - 1980's)
    • Athens, Greece; Tripoli, Libya; Guam; Taipei, Taiwan; Esfahan, Iran
  • Education:
  • Work history
    • 25 years in banking and finance
    • [4 years of graduate seminary]
    • 10 years part time service as a hospital chaplain
  • Faith affiliations
  • My interests
    • Christian spirituality and transformation
    • Pastoral care and spiritual accompaniment
    • Social justice work in various forms, including development of web content
    • Economic systems rooted in Christian theology

My project(s)

[edit]

I will add a list of articles in draft as they begin. My primary interests are organizing information relating to the Franciscan Charism, Franciscan Spirituality, and the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition (no links, because - Yep! - no good articles yet). The Franciscan tradition is a well kept secret in Christianity and broader spirituality, and I'm not the only one who realizes how much the world might benefit from easier access to and a deeper understanding of Franciscanism's countercultural value in a world gone (temporarily) insane.

Because of my background in economics and finance, I am also interested in the Christian rooted economic system known as Distributism.
