"Some say this paradigm shift is nothing short of a
tidal wave sweeping into the twenty-first century ... Pray
that we not find ourselves among the Swiss watchmakers in
the world of the gospel!"
A Vincentian priest, John is presently Director of
Vincentian Ministry Resources for the Eastern Province of
the Congregation of the Mission. He operates out of the
Vincentian Center for CHurch and Society at St. John's
University.
A member of the American Association of Marriage and
Family Therapists he has taught courses on marriage, grief,
leadership, theological reflection, and pastoral ministry.
He has been involved with migrant farm worker concerns,
youth ministry, hospital administration, and theology field
education. He has treated the prophetic dimension of life
and theology in a variety of workshops. He is a board member
of Bread and Life Soup Kitchen in Bedford Stuyvesant which
serves over 1200 meals a day.
His background and long-time interest in using cyberspace
in the service of ministry and specifically the needs of the
poor, and his enthusiasm to help others do so make his
contribution to this workshop very valuable. He used a
recent leave from teaching to explore cyberspace more
deeply, and to write of his explorations, which can be found
in Review for Religious and Vincentian
Heritage magazines.
