Nancy comes to the Diocese of Michigan after having received a BA in Religious Studies, an MA in Theology, an M.Div. that focused on Scripture and Ministry and a D.Min. in Advanced Studies in Congregational Development. Nancy’s doctor of ministry thesis was based on research regarding the Baptismal Covenant (BCP, 1979) and resulted in the development of a variety of books and presentations, consulting and general church renewal efforts.
“In fact,” Nancy says, “everything I do in life, in teaching, and in church work has been impacted by my experience of a deep covenantal relationship with God.”
Prior to joining the EDOMI staff, Nancy describes her ministry as: a combination of teaching courses for South University’s Doctor of Ministry program, coordinating the household of an elderly couple and their caregivers, conducting monthly services utilizing video presentations for a nursing home, plus planning and presenting workshops based on topics related to the books that I have written/co-written:
- Do You Believe? Living the Baptismal Covenant
- Godparenting: Nurturing the Next Generation
- Evaluation and Planning Manual: A Disciplined Method for Evaluating your Congregation and Planning a Future (based on the Rev. R. Channing Johnson’s Where have all the Young People Gone).
Nancy grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan and has family currently living in Warren.
