I am an elder in the Florida Conference of the UMC. The bulk of my work has been in the parish setting. Fifteen years ago I planted a church called Good Samaritan that appealed to a diverse group of folks many who had left the church or had been rejected by the church of their youth for various reasons. I stumbled into interfaith work as a member of The God Squad. This interfaith clergy panel presented 9 programs a year addressing issues in the news from our different faith backgrounds. It was here that I first experienced the profound presence of the Living God in my Muslim, Hindu and Jewish colleagues. Through those experiences I sensed a genuine call to offer Spiritual Direction to people of all faiths and no faith in group and individual settings
