We're excited to introduce to you some of our new students that will
be joining us for the 2012-13 school year. Today's featured student is Danny Coleman, who is a new Access student from Edmonds, WA.
My name is Danny
Coleman. I am a progressive Christian Quaker. I am about to turn 50
and have been a follower of Jesus since my early 20's, but only became a
Quaker about 5 years ago. My interests are theology, history and
music. My idea of a good time is reading N.T. Wright or Walter Wink or
Richard Horsley or John Woolman while plinking a ukulele. I also have a
keen interest in Christian mysticism--from the desert monastics to the
Cappadocian fathers to the Catholic mystics to Ignatius of Loyola to
George Fox and beyond. I grew up in Denver but now live in Seattle with
my wife Carla and dog Yoshi. Our son lives in Germany and is a laser
physicist. I love to teach and to write and have a desire to deepen my
knowledge of Quakerism, theology in general and scripture. I am
particularly interested in how the theological stories we live in shape
our view of the world and our attitudes towards and interactions with
God and people. I think Friends have a message that is both profound
and profoundly relevant for these times.
