Richard DeRemee was born in the small
Mississippi River town of Red Wing, Minnesota, in the United States. He
and his wife are grandchildren of 19th century Swedish
immigrants. They grew up steeped in the heritage and traditions of the
Lutheran Church. This influence continued through undergraduate years at
Gustavus Adolphus College in St Peter, Minnesota. His family includes
three children and seven grandchildren.
Apart from three years in the army, Richard has remained in Minnesota. He is a graduate of the University of Minnesota Medical School. He received specialty and subspecialty medical training in internal medicine and pulmonary disease at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. He stayed there for over thirty years as consultant, clinical researcher and professor of medicine. Retirement has given Richard time to focus his penchant for thinking and writing on the mystery of consciousness and to reconciling his strong Lutheran faith with the modern empirical world. |

Michael Maasdorp is an Anglican priest
and a member of a religious community. The Society of the Sacred Mission
began in 1893 in London. By 1960 it had about 80 members in England,
Japan, Australia, South Africa and Lesotho. Today it has shrunk by about half.
Michael lives in St Antony's Priory, Durham, England. It houses the Ecumenical Spirituality Centre, a Society project. His ancestors came from Germany to the Cape in 1696. He was born in South Africa and brought up in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). He left home and school at 16. After ordination in 1966 he obtained a BA degree at the University of South Africa. He has two children and two grandchildren. Michael served in a parish ministry for some ten years, in the latter part combining it with running an ecumenical publishing and book-selling business in Johannesburg. That ministry ceased some 25 years ago. Since then he has earned a living as a business consultant and management trainer. Throughout these years Michael has had an abiding interest in the relevance of traditional theology to the ordinary person. The Radical Faith website in an expression of this interest. |
