Bob has served 47 years in the ministry, beginning in 1975 with a 3 point Charge in Charles Town, WV. for 2 years while attending Wesley Theological Seminary. He feels blessed by the appointments he has been given, with each one preparing him for the next.  He has enjoyed several opportunities to participate in Interfaith relationships and experiences.  His ministry has been rooted in Peace and Social Justice ministries that include Christian Jewish Allies for Peace in Palestine/Israel; and as one of seven clergy organizing the Eastern PA Region of the Methodist Federation for Social Action.  

He plans to continue his relationship with these organizations in retirement.
