📕 Toward the end of my life, I am enjoying the opportunity of revisiting some of my early days of involvement in ministry before ordained ministry became my life. I was early affected by race, poverty, justice, and ministry to children where these were issues. These issues stayed with me throughout my ordained ministry.Early in my community service, I learned that people involved in offering services to those in need are not able to simply go forth and do good deeds. Financial and political powers have too often become goals in and of themselves rather than a means to accomplishing much good. That "early learning" prompted me to move in the direction of ordained parish ministry as my field of operation in life.Finding My Field seeks to share a few of my migrant ministry experiences that helped me make these discoveries about real life.
