...where everybody is somebody in God's love.

Alan's Corner

You've reached the portion of the site devoted to my writing and speaking. I am a pastor's husband, which gives me an interesting (different from most) perspective to observe and comment on church life. I am married to Laurie, father to Brady (a ministry all by itself), and also actively involved in ministry alongside my wife at Lodge Forest UMC in Baltimore. I enjoy writing and work at NASA Goddard as a writer/editor. I also have a deep passion and interest in matters relating to church life and theology, especially discipleship and spiritual formation.  I am a certified Lay Speaker in the United Methodist Church meaning I am eligible to speak at any United Methodist church in the Baltimore/Washington Conference.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Alan's writings are his personal thoughts and reflections about a variety of issues that local churches face and do not necessarily reflect the views of the pastor or the leadership at Lodge Forest UMC.
