About Me

My photo
Jim Hibbett
IL, United States
During the past thirty-eight years I have moved from a very conservative view of the Bible and Christian tradition informed by my non-instrumental Church of Christ background (A heritage I'm very grateful for.) to a point of seeing a need for major re-visioning of parts of mainline Historic Christianity's usual interpretation of scripture and tradition. After a sad break with the Church of my heritage, in time I became a licensed minister in the United Church of Christ and Presbyterian Church(USA) where I served three rural churches for twenty years. I was ordained in the United Church of Christ in 2007 through its 'multiple paths to ordination' pronouncement. My most recent formal work was hospital/hospice chaplain. I retired when Covid outbreak began. I am a member of a local United Church of Christ congregation.
