About

Malcolm Lewis Marler

Malcolm Lewis Marler

My passion in life is creating connection and community with the human family and with God, especially when we go through the difficult times of life.

A new desire of mine is learning to live more simply and own less stuff instead of it owning me.

I write a few times per week about experiences I have with others, sometimes through my work as a Director of Pastoral Care at a hospital in Alabama.

For a decade and a half  I worked with persons living with HIV/AIDS who were from every walk of life in society.  They were and are my friends and teachers, as well as the compassionate competent staff of 60 persons I had the privilege to know.

My personal faith journey has led me to work with congregations in Presbyterian, Baptist, United Church of Christ (UCC), and Episcopal congregations.

Personal

  • Live on a lake in North Alabama with the love of my life
  • Have two open-hearted, loving stepchildren, who are both college students
  • Enjoy strength training, walking and hiking, photography, water skiing, boating, and technology.

The best way to contact me is through Email.  Or you can follow me on Twitter or Facebook.

A Word About Confidentiality

Confidentiality and integrity are central for me in my professional and personal life.

If a person’s identity needs to be protected, I change key identifying information so that the heart of the story can be told but the identity of the individual is confidential.

I do not represent any institution on this blog, these are my own thoughts and beliefs and I am responsible for them.
