After finishing my Masters in 1975, I began 25 years of parish ministry and served in congregations where the former Pastor was sexually involved with women and teen-age girls in the congregation. In 1982, I earned my Doctorate in conflict management and resolution. I retired in 2000 and began consulting with other Demoninations and congregations around the myrid of issues related to sexually predatory clergy. In 2010, I retired from my consulting work and began working with LGBT persons who were struggling with their sexual identity as related to their home churches. I also volunteer with our local school district as a reading volunteer for elementary aged kids.
