About Me: Public school education developed interests in writing and public discussion. High school at Iona Prep with the Christian Brothers disclosed the broad horizons of Christian philosophy, art, and history. Seminary studies prepared for ministry. Graduate studies in Canon Law prepared for work in church governance. Involvement in community and governmental bodies over the years showed the need for and the value of wide citizen participation in community and governmental affairs. Pastoral ministry disclosed the importance of lay participation in Church life and governance. The mindset of clericalism can be opened by conversation of bishops with today's educated and articulate laity. Respectful dialogue brings helpful sharing of insights on both sides and encourages the deepening of knowledge and the strengthening of relationships. It is the hope of this site to carry on something of this conversation. CONTACT e-mail: larchstar@aol.com |
