Michael joined the MBS staff in October 2007 to provide administrative and program support. With responsibilities ranging from planning various MBS events, overseeing the Bible Grants program, managing the office and editing the newsletter, Michael is involved in all almost every aspect of the Society. Unlike his Quaker ancestors who fled the religious intolerance of Massachusetts Colony for the Chowan River basin of northeastern North Carolina, Michael is glad to be living in Boston. Michael is an alumni of Chicago Theological Seminary and also serves as the pastor of Metropolitan Community Church of Boston.
