| Introduction | For over thirty-nine years I have ministered in congregations of the Presbyterian, United Church of Christ, United Methodist and Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) denominations in New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, Iowa, Missouri and currently, in Quincy, Illinois. I serve First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) as an Intentional Interim Minister, focusing on five developmental focal points for reinvigoration during the "in-between time." I also maintain a ministry coaching practice to aid and support pastors and other church leaders who seek personal transformation and envision the possibilities for congregational transformation in their ministry settings. I am an amateur photographer and guitarist/singer who also enjoys leading drumming circles. I am married to a wonderful woman, Karen Fraser Moore, who is an engaging pastor and a powerful spiritual leader and ministry coach. Between us, Karen and I have six children: Peter (38), Jason (38), Julianne (35), Angel (26), Laurel (20) and Liam (18), and six grandchildren: Joy (11), Malia (10), Sophie (8), Finn (5), Savannah (3), Ezekiel (2) and Jade 7 months.) |
