About

“…the restoration of the church will surely come only from a new type of monasticism which has nothing in common with the old but a complete lack of compromise in a life lived in accordance with the Sermon on the Mount in the discipleship of Christ. I think it is time to gather people together to do this…”

-Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Extract of a letter written by Dietrich Bonhoeffer to his brother Karl-Friedrick on the 14th of January, 1935. (Source: John Skinner, Northumbria Community).

About Pat:

I am:

  • A follower of the Christian God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and flavored of the Celtic, post-evangelical, post-charismatic and new monastic variety
  • A husband to Shannon since 1993
  • A father to Kaileigh since 2002 and Brogan since 2006
  • A failed church planter (Mt. Si Vineyard, in the Vineyard commnity)
  • An amateur photographer
  • A vowed member (Explorer) with the Community of Aidan and Hilda, a Celtic monastic community in the US
  • An amateur musician playing electric and acoustic guitars, djembe and saxophones
  • A student at Bakke Graduate University in the Doctor of Ministry program, studying Transformational Leadership for the Global City. My study emphases are leadership and theological reflection, and my dissertation will seek to apply Celtic, Benedictine, Jesuit and Orthodox Christianity (and especially their monastic flavors) for postmodern spiritual seekers and believers
  • A motorcycle rider (Currently on a ‘01 Harley-Davidson Night Train and a ‘93 Ducati 900 Superlight)
  • An avid – some might say obsessive-compulsive – book buyer and reader. Here’s my LibraryThing, which is social software that catalogs my library and see others who share the same books

Here’s my lifestream via FriendFeed, and the one on tumblr if you want to see up to the minute “What’s Pat doing in the social software world” details.

I’m an INFP.

Here’s my Amazon Wishlist.

About In the Coracle

I blog about the journey of my life, and in particular Christian spirituality. I write about church and church planting (and failing to “succeed” at that); my study; what I sense the voice of God to be saying to me; and other things that make sense at the time.
