Left: With Phil and Quinn. Isn't he cute? Oh, yeah, and Phil's not too bad looking either.





Above: The fourth joint meeting of the Catholic Coalition for Church Reform's Work/Study Groups - Wednesday, April 14, 2010.

These groups are playing an instrumental role in forming the content of CCCR's September 18, 2010 "Synod of the Baptized: Claiming Our Place at the Table."

Right: With my friend Phyllis Evans, who is a member of the work/study group I'm facilitating on sexual orientation and gender identity.



Above: Auditioning for American Idol! No, not really - but if I was, I'd no doubt be singing an Engelbert Humperdinck classic!
