My Call is...

remembering, reminding, reframing, discovering for the first time, reconnecting at the end of things, celebrating, mourning, sharing, inspiring into action, nurturing for comfort, confronting, challenging, naming...

connection to the Divine in myself, in others, in Nature, in Spirit Itself...

through music, touch, words, silence, prayer, ritual, and communal action...

with courage, honesty, compassion, and love.
I am a Divine being dwelling amidst Divine creation through which Spirit is always present and moving.  As a spiritual caregiver, I am a guide, companion, and witness with others as they (re)discover and express the Divine within themselves, and heal their connection to the Divine in all of Its forms (Spirit, Self, Other, Creation). 

I am silence and stillness.  I am a deep listener.  I am a voice for those who cannot speak, for those who are prevented from speaking, for those who don’t have words.  I am a truth-teller and a depth-shifter.  I am committed to affecting one life at a time through respectful, informed, compassionate, and humble dialogue. In my ministry, I am welcoming to all and respect that the differences among us make us stronger. 
 
I am a chaplain who creates and maintains sacred space, a deep listening presence, and opportunity for prayer and healing ritual.  I am also a poetic preacher and use my gifts of prophetic witness and imagination to educate, challenge, and inspire.  I am a creative liturgist who composes ritual and worship using story, song, and silence to engender a shared experience and expression of the Divine Mystery that moves us all.  And finally, I am a responsible and responsive member of the global community, ignited by the fire of our faith toward action that heals our broken world and co-creates a global culture of equity, justice, and freedom for all.
