| Location | Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States |
| Introduction | I entered monastic life right out of high school. I have farmed, laid brick, done bookkeeping, cooked, ran a foster-care group come, taught elementary school, worked as a printer, taught in jails and prisons, served as a nurse's aid, served as superior of a monastery and pastor of three Melkite parishes. I have always enjoyed the world of language and ideas, and have always enjoyed working with a wide spectrum of people. Drawing on all these experiences and blessings, I hope to patch something together that will be a blessing to others. |
