I am a member of Guardian Angels Catholic Church in Oakdale, MN serving the east metro.

I participate in the Peace and Justice Action Ministry at Guardian Angels, the Respect Life Action Team and Sowers of Justice.

I currently am the coordinator of Justice and Outreach for Guardian Angels. Prior to coming to Guardian Angels, I was the Director of Congregations in Community for the St. Paul Area Council of Churches after a 20+ year career as a County official in Minnesota.

I am married, have 4 children, one deceased child, and one grandson. I have an MA in International Community Development / Social Work from the University of Alberta.

My blogs represent my work with various social justice groups, but not necessarily the views of the Catholic Church or Guardian Angels Church. Nevertheless, they are informed by my understanding of Catholic social teachings and also are intended to be non-partisan. I also do not feel comfortable with labels like "liberal" or "conservative." They may be simply viewed as counter-cultural or even radical, in the same sense that the teachings of Jesus were perceived the same way during his life.

It is my goal to offer "civil," "constructive" discussion of critical issues from my Catholic social justice point of view that promotes the common good and creates a more just and peaceful world.
