 It’s great to be back at YDS, where in January I began my work as Professor of Practical Theology and Pastoral Care with a course on Conflict Transformation and an Intro to Pastoral Theology and Care. A forthcoming publication pulls together recent ministry work–pastoral care and older adults– and research interests on vocation (see , “Older Adulthood: Vocation at Life’s End.”  In Kathleen A. Cahalan & Bonnie J. Miller-McLemore (Eds.), Calling All Years Good: Vocation across the Lifespan (Grand Rapids, MI: William B. Eerdmans, forthcoming, 2016).
