About Me
- Leo Hartshorn
- Lancaster, Pa, United States
- Presently I am Minister of Peace and Justice for Mennonite Mission Network (since 2002), Mennonite Church USA, staff for the Peace and Justice Support Network, and co-director of Drumming for Peace. My current job ends July 31, 2009 and I will be moving to Portland, Oregon. I grew up just north of Malibu, California, near the coast. Have been a musician and artist since 60's. Entered Christian ministry in 1973 and became a Mennonite in 1987 through the influence of baptist theologian Dr. James Wm. McClendon, Jr. I was a pastor of congregations in California, Texas, and Pennsylvania. I received my doctorate in preaching from Lancaster Theological Seminary (2002). Currently I live in Lancaster, PA, with my wife of 35 years, Iris, and we are raising our 5 year old grandson, Gavin.

Interpretation and Preaching as Communal and Dialogical Practices: An Anabaptist Perspective by Leo
"Using philosophical theories of literary hermeneutics, interpretive communities, post-liberal understandings of intertextuality and intratextuality, cultural-linguistic constructs, liberation theories, socio-political analysis, and feminist hermeneutics, Dr. Hartshorn evaluates historical Anabaptist preaching practices and begins to construct and inclusive, emancipatory Anabaptist homiletic of community.” – Professor Jennifer L. Lord, Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
