Biography

I am married with 3 adult boys and an adult girl. I'm a "semi-professional" part-time student at the University of Toronto in Religious Studies who struggles with the Liberalism there but loves the rigors of academia. I too want to join this forum to learn and grow in truth. Believe my theology is always in transition--on a lot of things. And do not want to follow the wrong path spending all my energy on something that won't make a difference.

Religion / Church Affiliation

Charismatic-Pentacostal; with beginnings in the United Church
