Club Adventist
Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Hi folks,

Besides being a child of God (I cannot thank you enough, Lord) and a lfetime friend of pkrause, I am a retired teacher - 36 years in a public HS, teaching English (AP (Advanced Placement) classes and a Bible as Lit. elective) plus 10 years as a Dean.

I'm a member of the Morris Park SDA church in Bx., NYC, an elder, SS teacher, Religious Liberty director and Stewardship director. I also serve as the assistant to the head of the Religious Liberty Dept. of GNYC (Greater NY Conference)

Married with 2 adult children (Jason 35, Danielle 30) 5 cats, 1 guinea pig and 1 tarantula. Was a national Fellow (NEH = National Endowment for the Humanities) in'84 in medieval scholastic philosophy at Fordham University working closely with the largest Jesuit community in NYC.

Also a lifetime athlete, competing mainly in running events e.g. Boston and NYC Marathons et al.

Sorry for not adhering to the "copy and paste" request by Stan but I felt like that just wasn't me (sorry)

Alex

Welcome to the forum Alex and the next time you mention "Bronx" please say "the Bronx". LOL My real home town is the only place in the US that sounds better with "the" in front of it.
By the way nice credentials. :)
