Andy’s M.Div. from Yale and his Ph.D. in Christian Spirituality from the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, focused on the roles of scripture in spirituality, and his publications include the co-written Beyond the Ordinary: Spirituality for Church Leaders (Eerdmans, 2000).
Andy’s studies with Henri Nouwen and a year spent at the community of Taizé significantly shaped what was a 15-year ministry as a Presbyterian pastor, as well as a stint as co-founding director of a seminary training program in spiritual direction. Andy lives in Fairfax with his spouse, Steffani and two wisdom figures (teenage daughters Hannah and Monica).
