Religion nerd, progressive, social justice minded, peacemaker, interfaith activist. I bring people together across religious divides and look for commonalities while respecting our differences. I am a priest in the Episcopal Church.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love the idea of sharing accommodations for free with one another - meeting interesting people and providing open hospitality.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Folk music (like the type of stuff that comes through Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse in Berkeley)... but my musical tastes vary. In general I like things where the lyrics have meaning over things that just have a catchy beat. But the catchy beats do get me, too.

Movies: As Good As it Gets, When Harry Met Sally, A League of Their Own... those are a few I can watch over and over and not get tired of them...

Books: Barbara Kingsolver (The Poisonwood Bible, Prodigal Summer)... haven't done much reading outside of work-related things lately... have enjoyed some poetry and reading memoirs/travel journals

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Palestine, Turkey
