It is my conviction that the future of the Body of Christ is the prophetic and pastoral embrace of “justice and righteousness” and the restoration, forgiveness, and healing that must accompany it.

Compassion has become the singular quality through which I understand God to be at work in the world.

This is an example of a ministry that looked “outside the box” and sought not just to provide for basic needs of food and water but to provide for the human need for fellowship and affirmation.

I am being profoundly transformed by the reality that I am one with all the Universe, Mystery and Life. I can do nothing but seek authentic, loving, peace-building relationship with and among creation.

Here’s the deal: we are all broken and are in need of transformation. Trust me, I am fed up with the state of wealth disparity in this country.
