I would describe my ministry as interfaith/ ecumenical within a Catholic tradition. Centering prayer has been my daily practice for the past six years. I am a member of Sunday Assembly at Holy Wisdom Monastery. I have also been active in twelve step programs for over 20 years and my spirituality springs from a study of the twelve steps. I am discerning how to be with poverty in the world and how I might best serve others in the global community. It is difficult to look upon oneself and all others with loving kindness. Thus, I strive for gentleness and compassion.
