About Me

My photo
Leo Hartshorn
Portland, OR, United States
I grew up just north of Malibu, California, in Oxnard. I have been a musician and artist since the 60's. I entered Christian ministry in 1973 as a Southern Baptist and became a minister among the Mennonites in 1987 through the influence a baptist theologian friend, Dr. James Wm. McClendon, Jr. I would consider myself more of an neo-Anabaptist than a Mennonite. I have been a Christian minister for 40 years. 10 years in youth and education and 30 years in pastoral ministry in congregations in California, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Oregon. For 7 years I was Minister of Peace and Justice for Mennonite Church USA and staff for the Peace and Justice Support Network. I received my doctorate with a focus on Anabaptist preaching from Lancaster Theological Seminary (See dissertation below)). I currently live in Portland, Oregon. I just completed an interim pastorate of Zion Mennonite Church, Hubbard, Oregon. My sermons at Zion can be heard at: http://zion.or.us.mennonite.net/Home/WorshipServices. I am retired and spend most of my time now doing artwork and playing in a local band, Blues Battalion.
