I concluded that people of all ages have a need for spiritual healing. I became ordained clergy and worked in various ways to promote the healing of mind, body and spirit that Jesus modeled. After 15 years of lay and clergy effort, I was led to make yet another choice. The institutionalized churches contain many of the same limitations found in schools. I now seek to meet these needs as mentor and workshop leader.
Community is needed.
Family is important. Institutions are necessary. Workshop participants continually report a loss of community and abandonment by family and institutions. My continuing education and preparation begins anew with every sunrise and all of the experiences that present themselves each day of my life. I am glad to be alive.
