I am a person of faith who believes that love of God, neighbor, and self are at the heart of the gospel and that love, compassion, and justice are at the heart of all true religion and in the hearts of all who work for the common good. I believe that peace and justice are inseparable. As a member of the clergy, I hope that this site will bring a different perspective and voice than one reads or hears in our US mainstream media, that of the progressive faith community that believes all life is sacred. Because all life is sacred we are to look not only to our own good but that of our neighbor.
