He earned a Master of Divinity followed by a Doctorate in Ministry to equip him to serve Presbyterian Churches in Decatur, Alabama and Athens, Georgia. Jesus Christ and the Bible were his major resources to nurture both congregations in their spiritual growth and their mission. He has now been retired for twelve years, and he and his wife Jere are active in the ministry of Covenant Presbyterian Church and supportive of many service programs in the city of Athens. They spend a great deal of time with 16 grandchildren and also serve as volunteers during the summer at the Presbyterian Conference Center in Montreat, North Carolina. Since retirement, he has also enjoyed writing about events and experiences during his practice of ministry. His first book, Validating Committed Partnerships focuses upon his support for homosexual persons who seek a committed partnership or marriage with a person of the same gender and full membership in the Church.view less
