About Me:

I am a Lutheran by ancestral heritage but came back to the church on my own as a teenager. My faithlife is a work in progress and I find that the Celtic path to spirituality is of great assistance.

Who am I? (Many ways to answer this -- be as creative as you want, or not.)

I am a (Lutheran) seminary educated church professional and community activist.

How did I get into "emerging ministry"?

hmm, I am not sure that I even know what that means. Maybe that is why I joined this group.

Say a little bit about the community you share life with...

I participate in the life of an historically white semi-urban Lutheran parish that is in transition to a predominately African descent congregation involved in outreach to the Latino community.

What are the most pressing questions (both theological and practical) you and your community have?

Why is the church resistant to change and diversity? Why do so many Christians feel that their baptismal vow included preserving the church (and her traditions) even unto death?
