Start Here
Welcome. This site brings together my writing on faith, power, ancient texts, and the inner life — where spiritual formation and public life meet.
If you’re new, this page is the best way to begin. Think of it as an orientation rather than a table of contents. The work here is meant to be read slowly and returned to, not consumed all at once.
This page will evolve as new essays and resources are added.
Begin with spirituality and theology
Much of my work is grounded in progressive Christian spirituality, early Christian texts, and contemplative traditions. I write for people who are seeking a faith that is intellectually honest, historically grounded, and resistant to domination.
Here you’ll find reflections that engage texts such as the Gospel of Mary, explore the Divine Feminine, and draw on the wisdom of early Christian women and monastic traditions. These essays focus less on doctrine and certainty, and more on inner clarity, moral vision, and spiritual maturity.
Selected essays in this area will be added here as the archive takes shape.
Explore the space between faith and power
A central thread running through this site is political theology: how belief forms people, how religious language is used to justify systems of power, and how inner formation shapes public life.
In this work, spirituality and politics are not treated as opposites. Instead, I examine how faith can either be co‑opted by domination or become a source of resistance, courage, and ethical clarity.
This is where questions of conscience, authority, and responsibility come into sharp focus.
Read on politics, democracy, and religion in public life
Some essays engage politics more directly, especially where religion is being mobilized to undermine democracy, exclude vulnerable people, or sanctify authoritarian power.
These pieces draw on history, theology, and cultural analysis to examine phenomena such as Christian nationalism, religion in the public square, and the moral consequences of ideology. They are written not as partisan commentary, but as theological critique.
Selected political essays will be linked here as the archive grows.
About this work
I write as a theologian (M.Div.), educator, and community deacon in New Hampshire. My work is shaped by historical scholarship, progressive Christianity, and contemplative practice, and is written for readers who are thoughtful, curious, and willing to sit with complexity.
In addition to essays, I will be sharing seminars, devotionals, and guided study for readers who want to go deeper into these themes.
