Five days a week I drive from our home to the Episcopal Cathedral Center of Los Angeles where I have an office, my computer, and a wonderful sense of community - especially nurtured by the presence of several younger gay men and women who are good friends.

I find in the Psalms much the same range of mood and expression as I perceive within my own life of prayer.

Our prayers must spring from the indigenous soil of our own personal confrontation with the Spirit of God in our lives.

I have osteoarthritis, which especially affects my knees.

I feel that I communicate best when I am not deliberately being linear. Along this same line, I feel some of the best sermons I've ever heard were in the theatre rather than the pulpit - as, for example, in the Theatre of the Absurd.

I have glaucoma, so use eye drops both morning and night.

Jesus is an example. We have other examples, including many of our ancestors as role models who understood the inner meaning of our orientation.
