On Sunday, Tom Baker returns to share another inspired talk with us. He explains, "Christianity has made God a kind of spiritual idea divorced from what we really want which is communion with love itself." Come this Sunday to hear Tom expand on this idea.

About Our Speaker....Tom Baker was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and raised in a loving and joyful family. After earning a B.A. in English, he entered the Catholic seminary, completing his M.Div. at St. Meinrad School of Theology. He was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Louisville in 1980, serving in parish ministry and later as a professor of homiletics and director of student evaluations at St. Meinrad.

After leaving the priesthood in 1990, Tom earned a master’s degree in social work and has been a licensed therapist since 1996, maintaining a long-standing private practice. He also serves as a spiritual director, teaches A Course in Miracles in Virginia Beach, and offers occasional workshops on the Enneagram.



Tom’s life and work are grounded in contemplation and a deep awareness of oneness with Love itself.
