Expertise

I can answer questions dealing with all issues of United Methodist Doctrine and Wesleyan-Arminian Theology. In particular I can answer questions dealing with the Sacraments and other liturgical and worship-oriented questions. I can also answer questions dealing with the form, structure, and organization of the United Methodist Church and our relationship with other denominations.

Organizations

I am a Clergy Member in Full Connection and have been a member of the North Texas Conference of The United Methodist Church since 1991. I am a member of the Society of Biblical Literature and the American Academy of Religion. I am also a member of the Emmaus Community, and am currently serving as Senior Spiritual Director for the Dallas Emmaus Community. I have been a member of the Order of Saint Luke in the United Methodist Church.

Publications

I have my own website: www.RevNeal.org.   I have written two books, "Grace Upon Grace" and "Seeking the Shepherd's Arms," both available at Amazon.com and in bookstores.

Awards and Honors

Ordained Elder in the United Methodist Church
Fellow of the Society of Saint John the Evangelist

What do you like about this subject?

The United Methodist Church is both my community of faith and the field in which I serve as an under-shepherd of Christ's flock.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I am currently in the process of reaching and writing another book on Sacramental Theology, this time focusing more precisely on the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. I have several book-projects planned for the future dealing with Methodist approaches to the Means of Grace in General, and the Eucharist in particular.
