 John Freund, CM, STL

"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.
