The Progressive Christian Pastor

I have been a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) for over 30 years. I’ve served in Buffalo, NY and San Francisco, CA. I’m currently at the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Burlingame, CA.

I received my Master of Divinity from the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg (now part of United Lutheran Seminary) in 1987 and Doctor of Ministry from Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley in 2005. I have a special interest in interfaith and intrafaith matters and have presented workshops at the Parliament of the World’s Religions. My book, The INTRAfaith Conversation: How Do Christians Talk Among Ourselves About INTERfaith Matters?, was released in 2015.
