Welcome! I am happy to share a bit about myself. Perhaps in God’s providence we will meet sometime.
About me:
I am a retired pastor living in Eugene, Oregon.
My interests include fly-fishing and philosophy (I have a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Notre Dame). When not fishing, or philosophizing, I can often be found reading, working at the computer, or relaxing with my family.
When I was a pastor I wrote a blog post each week as I prepared a sermon in order to start thinking about the text and to invite comments. Here are those old posts.
Favorite books:
Some of my favorites are (in no particular order):
A Canticle for Leibowitz, Walter M. Miller, Jr.
The Supper of the Lamb, Robert Farrar Capon
The River Why, David James Duncan
The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien
A Community of Character, Stanley Hauerwas
The Art of Pastoring, David Hansen
Orthodoxy, G. K. Chesterton
Hard Times, Charles Dickens
Writing:
Occasionally, I have written something besides a sermon:
Christian Ethics and the Ethics of Virtue
What in the World Is God Doing?
Grace and Free-will – Three Debates
A Covenant Dialogue on Baptism (with Stephen Pitts)
