Prof. Henry Simoni-Wastila, Ph.D.
I have a doctorate in the philosophy of religion, and many of my articles have been published in peer-reviewed journals. I have taught college for about 30 years. I have also served as a leader in interfaith congregations for 30 years.
I believe the investigation of religion and philosophy can be enlightening for anyone, regardless of belief.
My focus is on the the individual person as a radically unique perspective upon the universe. This unique particular person is the lens from which we see the cosmos and others. We can experience our individuality as a rich mix of compassion, meaning, love and ecstasy. Spiritual practices can help us get in touch with our core individuality, and we can then begin to understand the Mystery of Divinity.
All religions have something to contribute, although a critical and historical approach is needed.
