WILL WESTERFIELD was drawn to Benedictine Spirituality first in 1997 when he heard Abbot Andrew Marr, OSB speak at his home parish. He started making retreats at St. Gregory’s Abbey in 1998 where he is now a Confrater. Will is a management consultant specializing in nonprofit administration, also working with churches, universities and biomedical research firms. Email him at will@oblateforum.org.
We have found that the best approach to management of the Forum and this accompanying website is as a team. We communicate with each other frequently and make decisions as a team.
It is important to us that our communal journey here be a positive one. If you have any questions you please contact one us at the email addresses below.
