Michael is a part of Deeper Communion because he has a mostly invisible chronically disabling condition that has drawn him into the world of what most people call ‘disability.’ Many wonderful relationships have drawn him into this world too, and his hope that Deeper Communion will be a way for more people to be welcomed into these kinds of relationships.

He holds a PhD in Theological Ethics from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland and is the author of Theology, Ethics, and Technology in the Work of Jacques Ellul and Paul Virilio: A Nascent Theological Tradition (Lexington Books) and editor of Desert, Wilderness, Wasteland, and World: A New Essay By Jacques Ellul and Five Critical Engagements (Pickwick). He publishes and presents on a variety of topics within the fields of theology, morality, culture, politics, technology, and dis-ability. He has also worked in local church ministry and continues to serve the church in a lay capacity.
