On theTrail....

Bob’s pilgrimage is about “faith seeking understanding” and “a life seeking union with God.”  His trail goes through the territory of Scouting and then seminary education.  He serves as a Baptist minister 18 years before becoming an Episcopal priest.  His travels take him to many states and countries, including several scuba diving trips.  He shares his memories, dreams and reflections growing out of many retreats and his love of the Benedictine way of life.  This pilgrim tells of his son’s suicide, his divorce and re-marriage, and his embracing with openness the challenges of parenthood, with his own gift of ADHD.  On the way he begins a 24-hour telephone helpline, and discovers, studies, and builds a labyrinth.  He integrates psychology and spirituality, and explores the role of spirituality in the practice of healthcare.  With ten years of psychotherapy and exploring many avenues of prayer, he finds listening to be the core of his life.  With Bonhoeffer, he believes that “There is meaning in every journey that is unknown to the traveler.  Therefore, he is always listening for the voice and wisdom of God as he ventures into the Great Unknown.
