What a weird experience. Fourth time I've filled it out.
This year I had to be creative in expressing the relationships within our household.
I kept on reflecting on the night before: Easter dinner, lovely ham, red potato salad, asparagus, pie, family: all of us, mothers, fathers, children, and partners.
The modern family is not reflected in the questions asked in the census.
May 2020 be different.
Pace!

On Being a Gay Parent
About Me
- Brett Webb-Mitchell
- Chapel Hill and Carrboro, North Carolina, United States
- I am a dad, who happens to be gay, with two amazing young adult children who have taught me, my partner, and their mom what grace, faith, hope, and love are all about. I am also an ordained clergyperson in the Presbyterian Church (USA), involved in congregational life, sometimes preaching here and there, and an oblate of St. Benedict's Monastery in St. Joseph, MN. I taught at Duke Divinity School at Duke University for over a decade, and I currently teach at North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC. I teach Ethics, World Religions, and English. And I am the Director of a religious non-profit, "School of the Pilgrim" (www.schoolofthepilgrim.com), in which I take people on actual pilgrimages to break out of the religion of rush hour in order to find their inner spiritual path. I am also glad to work with and be an advocate with people living with disabilities in faith communities, who teach me more about life in all its wonders and quirks. Enjoy the blog!
