  I am a professional theologian with deep appreciation for the power and significance of religious experience. I graduated from the School of Theology of the University of the South and served 16 years as an Episcopal priest before moving beyond Christianity. It is my opinion that durable meaning for existence depends upon its being based upon the greatest degree of intellectual and emotional integrity possible. To be valid and provide human benefit, religious experience must be able to withstand all the intellectual questions for verity as are applied to all other areas of human experience and knowledge. I have developed my own spiritual model (Opthe) based upon this view and have been working to explicate it in an effort to contribute to contemporary theological and religious dialogue.
