Hello from South Carolina
Introducing Ron Howes, nothing to hide it’s a real name. Graduate from Florida College 1970, lots of good friends and family still in the nicoc. I was a Gospel Preacher for 20 years Hawaii Alaska Minnesota Arizona and New Mexico. Divorced and entered the Army at age 40 in 1990. Left the Church Of Christ started a spiritual journey through Disciples of Christ, Lutheran for a decade due to the healing relationship of a Lutheran chaplain in the Army. Retired Army LTC, Now with the Independent Christian Church . Remarried, wife a devout Catholic, we attend each other’s service frequently, preach occasionally, two adopted kids. Retired PhD Clinical Psychologist. Doing a Master’s degree in Church History and Theology through an Anglican seminary. No one has accused me of being bored. Looking forward to being with y’all. Really needed a place like this in 1990.

Welcome to the board.

Nobody could possibly call you boring, either! Fascinating life. Enjoy the board (we hope).
History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That's why events are always reinterpreted when values change. We need new versions of history to allow for our current prejudices.

We check a lot of the same boxes: former NI preacher, stop-over in Lutheranism, veteran, divorced and remarried, studied at 'denominational' schools - I've even lived in SC! Welcome sir! Share at will.
