Minister

   Rev. Dr. Tom Thresher

 

Our minister is the Rev. Tom Thresher, Ph.D.   As a former college professor, artist/craftsman, and a spiritual explorer Tom brings an eclectic interfaith approach to our church.

Ministering to our church is Tom's third career. His first was as a college professor in the San Francisco Bay area where he taught economics and interdisciplinary courses. His second career was as an artist/craftsman producing a variety handcrafted items from inlaid wooden clocks to alabaster kaleidoscopes for galleries and collectors across the country. 

Tom holds a Ph.D. in Economic Studies in Education and an M.A. in Economics from Stanford University as well as a Masters of Divinity from Pacific School of Religion. He received eight years of intensive experiential training in psycho/spiritual transformation, which informs all of his endeavors.

Those who know him note that "he has a great capacity for listening and teaching in an open and caring manner. He has a great sense of humor and love for people. He has a particularly nice way with children."  He is a man who knows God from the heart as well as from the head.  He presents new ideas about Christianity, consciousness, spirituality and spiritual practice in an exciting and effective way.
