| Introduction | As a retired pastor, current professor, and still active pioneer in asset based community development, I currently am the founding Dean of a new Seminary known as Northwind Theological Seminary. There I direct the doctoral programs in the Romantic Theology of the Oxford Inklings, and Spiritual Formation based on the teachings of Henri Nouwen. I try to work only half the time so that there's time enough to read write, travel and play. During both work and play, I try to raise funds for mission projects in Malawi, Uganda, and the USA. I also like to support community leaders and help local groups increase their capacity to transform their communities and repair the world. WorldHope Corps, Inc. is an agency I started in 2008 to facilitate faith-motivated relief and development work in the world. This creative space serves as my travel blog and platform for personal reflections on my favorites topics and figures. I invite you to subscribe or link to this blog for live feeds. |
