Education (non-religious)[edit]

General WP stuff[edit]

I mainly do "wikignome" stuff--checking random articles for format, adding links, etc. For awhile I did some editing in the Messianic Judaism article but I found the regular clique of editors (almost all of whom are not Messianic) so biased that I stopped.

Religion[edit]

-- Religious Attendance[edit]

  • I was raised Roman Catholic and converted to Protestantism in 1996.
  • I am now a Messianic gentile who has attended Baruch HaShem Messianic Synagogue (BHS) in Dallas, Texas since December 1999.
  • I am a member of Christian Chapel CME Temple of Faith, where I run the Internet Outreach Ministry and teach in the children's program.
  • I have attended the Reform Jewish Temple Emanu-El in Dallas since early 2003.
  • For about a year I also attended Zola Levitt's Shalom Shalom Messianic Congregation.

(Yes, that does mean I have been attending three different congregations on a weekly basis for several years.)

-- Religious Training[edit]

I have completed six Messianic Yeshiva courses given by leaders in the Messianic Movement, a three-day orientation on Messianic Judaism given by BHS, and have extensively read Messianic authors such as Dan Juster, John C. Fisher, Michael L. Brown and David Stern. I have also studied Hebrew and traditional (non-Messianic) Judaism. Including college-lecture-type teaching at BHS I have about 450 hours of training in Messianic Judaism, Messianic theology, etc.

I hold a Certificate in Theology from the Dallas Extension Division of Interdenominational Theological Center (Protestant) in Atlanta, Georgia. I have also attended several non-denominational Christian workshops on children's ministry. I have written extensively on theology and apologetics.

-- Religious Study[edit]

As an apologist, I have studied the theology of numerous denominations and religions, including:
