2004: I live in New Haven CT and work at Yale Divinity School as Director of Supervised Ministries (aka field education). That means I oversee students' internships as part of their study for the ministry. I went to Yale Divinity School myself for my Master of Divinity degree and was ordained in the United Church of Christ in 1987. After serving for two years as an associate pastor in Amherst, MA, I returned to Yale once again to study for the PhD. I received my doctorate from the Ethics program of the Religious Studies Department at Yale in 2000. I wrote a dissertation on sexual ethics which was later published by The Pilgrim Press as Constructing the Erotic: Sexual Ethics and Adolescent Girls (2002). I moved back home to Oberlin for two years (1996-98) and taught in the Religion Department at Oberlin College prior to assuming my current position in 1998. This year I am working 4/5 time and trying to write a book on ministry ethics. Distractions come in the form of fixing up my 1900 house, community organizing in New Haven, church activities, and volunteering for a folk music concert society.
