About the Author

David Weiss is a theologian, writer, poet and hymnist committed to doing ''public theology'' around issues of sexuality, justice, diversity, and peace. In his work he seeks to use his gifts as a writer and poet to bring the strength of his academic training into fruitful conversation with the wider audiences of church and society. A graduate of Wartburg College, Wartburg Seminary, and the University of Notre Dame, he has taught religion and theology at the University of Notre Dame, Luther College, Augsburg College, the College of St. Catherine, and Hamline University. He is a lifelong Lutheran and is presently Campus Ministry Coordinator for Social Justice at the College of St. Catherine. Beyond his professional work, David has been active in local peace work and both locally and nationally as an ally for GLBT persons in faith communities. His writing has appeared in newspapers, periodicals, and newsletters throughout the U.S. David and his wife, Margaret, have a blended family of five children, and live in St. Paul. They are deeply invested in the life of their congregation, St. Paul-Reformation Lutheran Church in St. Paul, where David teaches Sunday School and serves on both the Church Council and the Wingspan (GLBT advocacy) Committee.
