Noticing that I have not written on this blog in more than four years, I can offer an easy explanation: It was just over four years ago that I began work on my PhD in Spiritual Formation at B. H. Carroll Theological Seminary. (I’m not finished yet, but am currently writing my dissertation: The Influences of John Wesley and Thomas Merton on the Spiritual Formation Movement through the Contribution of M. Robert Mulholland, Jr.)
Therefore, it isn’t that I haven’t been writing, it’s just that the writing has been going other places:
"The Peculiar Difficulty of the Methodist Pastor,” Firebrand Magazine (February 28, 2023)
“Thomas Merton’s Spiritual Formation and Writings on Racism: From Harlem, Through Louisville, To Birmingham,” Journal of Spiritual Formation and Soul Care 15, no. 2 (November 2022): 184-204.
