C. After ten years as pastor in upstate New York and community organizer in the inner city of Buffalo, he was asked to be a Western representative of the national staff of the UCC. He and his family moved to Berkeley, California where he studied the religion of Protestants and Roman Catholics in the highly secular communities of the 1960s and 70s.
He received his Ph.D. in the Sociology of Religion from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1973. Soon after he was gifted with a transforming spiritual experience that Christ loved him unconditionally. He studied the trans- personal psychology Psychosynthesis for five years and taught its theory and practice to hundreds of Roman Catholic pastors. He was called to be pastor of the Benicia Community Congregational, California, from late 1978 until early 1988. He is also the author of the autobiographical _Treasure Hunting-A Journey towards Intimacy_ (Authorhouse). He was married to Annette for 46 years. They were parents of four children and four grandchildren. She died in 1997. He is now married to Polly P. Gates.
