Fred Grewe is a retired Board-Certified Chaplain (Association of Professional Chaplains) with a Doctor of Ministry degree from the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley. After seventeen years as a hospice chaplain, Fred is now the interim pastor at Congregational United Church of Christ in Ashland, Oregon. His interest in working with the dying began in the early 1990's with the death of his best friend who succumbed to AIDS.
Fred is a mystery – even to himself. He is a middle-aged, bald, white man who believes God loves him very much and the power of this belief has helped transform a frightened, angry, little man into a more loving and considerate human being.
