I currently teach religious studies part-time in our church and at a local seminary, as well as volunteer in the church. Previously, I worked for Prison Fellowship International in northern Virginia as the office administrator (HR, IT, administration and facilities). I have also managed the office of a church in northern Virginia. I have abstracted books and articles for Restorative Justice Online, an Internet resource for restorative justice, and I have engaged in other research and writing projects on a consulting basis. Further back I worked for Prison Fellowship International as director of training, as the lay assistant to the rector of an Episcopal church in Pittsburgh, and as an editorial assistant in the federal government. My formal education consists of a bachelor’s in English from the University of Maryland, a master of divinity from Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry, and a master of philosophy and doctor of philosophy in theological and religious studies from Drew University. I met my wife, Karen, in graduate school at Drew in 1981, and we married in 1983. She also has a master of philosophy and doctor of philosophy in theological and religious studies from Drew. She is the Senior Director at The Falls Church Anglican. Our daughter, Kate, graduated from Gordon College, a very fine small, Christian liberal arts college in Wenham, Massachusetts. For her junior year, she studied at Oxford University, England! She married another Gordon graduate in 2012, and she completed a master's in library and information sciences from Simmons College in Boston. She is head of youth services at Manchester-by-the-Sea Community Library on Boston's North Shore.
