Michael went to be with the Lord on February 14, 2015. He considered this his favorite hangout. I know he would have wanted to leave you an explanation for his lack of activity on this site.

Software Developer, part-time pastor, and I raise chickens. Who can't love a chicken?

For Christianity.stackexchange.com, my religious background:

• Grew up in a Protestant, evangelical, nondenominational "Bible Church" (-1990)
• earned a M.Div at a Baptist Seminary (2008) and pastored a very small Baptist church (2004 - 2008)
• Served in an Episcopal Church (2008 - 2013)
• Back to a Baptist church that has a true passion for breaking down the barriers of church so as to focus on the original mission of the church - namely to bring Jesus to a dying world.
