Restorative Justice / Common Good / Egalitarianism
I’m a pastor who likes to write, and I’ve done most of my writing on the mentioned themes. Not solely, however – I also like to write about jazz, golf, and gardening/cooking. Additionally, on my blog, I’ve posted a number of non-fiction book reviews, and you’ll find op-eds I’ve written or co-written.
