About

Welcome to my blog, The Clockwork Pastor.  For five years, I did my religious blogging over at Oscar the Pastor.  Then in 2008, I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, a form of autism and started blogging about autism as well.  After a while, it seemed that Oscar had outlived its usefulness, so I decided to start a new blog that incorporated talking about faith, talking about being gay and African American and about being on the spectrum.

And the result is this new blog.

Quick things about me, I’m in my 40s, grew up in Flint, Michigan and I’m currently the Associate Pastor at First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Minneapolis.  I live with my wonderful partner, Daniel and serve two cats, Morris and Felix.

 

So why Clockwork Pastor? In some way, I’ve identified with androids and robots.  I’m constantly having to learn how the rest of the world operates and it can leave me at times confused about things.  And like Questor, as well as Gene Roddenberry’s other android, Data I do a lot of observation on what is going on.  In many ways, I’m still trying to figure out how humans operate and how to make my way in the world.

Which makes being an Associate Pastor really fascinating.

So, sit back and enjoy!
