| Introduction | Each journey begins with one step. In this case, one keystroke. So let's begin this way. I earned a B.A. in Religion from the University of Florida in 1977. I learned TM and volunteered in Fairfield, IA. I was in the Air Force for four years and worked as a medical lab tech. I grew up Jewish and converted to Christianity in 1990. I was married for 17 years (before I came out) and have a 19 year old daughter. I have been partnered now for 9 years to another "gay dad." I am the first out and partnered man in our Episcopal diocese to be granted postulancy towards the priesthood, and am about to finish my 1st year of seminary in Columbus, OH. |
