Service Committee, a co-director at Wellsprings Ecumenical Centerspawned by First Methodist Church of Germantown, co-ordinator for Clergy and Lay Advocates for Hospital Abortion Performance at Judson Memorial Church in Greenwich Village, a consultant and trainer in interpersonal relations for the Human Systems Council in Philadelphia, associate director for Community Outreach at EPPI, and director of the Center for Contextual Therapy & Allied Studies. I currently practice intergenerational, trust-based therapy in King of Prussia.

 I taught at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, at Goddard University, at LaSalle Graduate Department of Religion and at Hahnemann School of Medicine in the Department of Mental Health Sciences - all in Philadelphia.

I took part in social justice movements, protests in the North and South, Fair Housing efforts in King of Prussia and Philadelphia, involvement in the Benjamin Banneker Urban Center for education, housing and job skills, in Clergy and Layman Concerned for the War in Vietnam, in the Arab-Israeli Research and Relations Project, and in Women in Transition.

I traveled the world to teach and to learn. Each time, I returned to my life, family and work more committed to “press forward honoring reality.” I am a member of the Community in Dialogue, “a gang of seven,” whose overriding passion is to embody and inspirit dialogue that renews trust in the service of justice.
