Kendall's Story

Kendall is from West Palm Beach, Florida. Kendall's schools include Southern Adventist University (starting in 1957), Emory University School of Dentistry (1961-1964) from which he honoraqbly withdrew at the end of the junior year upon becoming very convinced that his calling was in pastoral ministry and/or teaching theology -- rather than being a missionary dentist, and then, years, later he completed the PA (physician assistant) curriculum at Kettering College of Medical Arts (1973-1975). Kendall worked as a PA (for a stipend rather than any salary) for over five years at the Wildwood Medical Missionary Training Institute and the Wildwood Sanitarium & Hospital. He also was employed for many many years as a PA in various other medical settings, Retired since 2005. Kendall's interests include religion, philosophy, psychology, history (esp. of western civiliization), travel, music, the visual arts, photography, and hiking. More about Kendall:"I feel that the most important aspect of my life has been and is my spiritual journey. Starting at age 16 it became my greatest passion to know and experience God (initially assuming "God" to be as described in the Bible). For at least the next three decades, the common theme and passion of my life was to be continually, fully surrendered to doing the will of God. A sens...Expand for more
e of calling to "ministry" was often strong, but "God's leading" was difficult to recognize and understand. I was raised Presbyterian, converted to Seventh-day Adventist (age 18), Presbyterian again (at age 44), then a Charismatic, a Baptist, and finally in 1998 and 1999 after more extensive honest heart searching, prayer, Bible study, reflection and then frequent resulting tears of deep heart ache from loosing my faith in the reality of God, . . . I became an agnostic Unitarian-Universalist. You could now call me a free-thinking humanist who still deeply treasures what I learned while a very earnest and sincere Christian. I still see great benefits in having a spiritual life and some faith -- though, for me, faith needs to be based on at least some very convincing evidence. I have come upon much more evidence for life originating through natural causes rather than through intelligent design by a loving and caring Supreme Being., I do stilll have a great passion to help make this a better world. I am trying to study philosophy, psychology, and various religions to better understand my fellow humans and their deeper needs. (The Christian liberal arts college where I earned my BS was very "narrow" and biased in what it taught. Not a single course in philosophy was offered during the years I was a student there.)
