Ferrell Foster

“It’s easy for some people to say what they do,” says Ferrell Foster, “but my place in this world is a bit more complicated.” "I’m sort of a minister, but not of a church; sort of a writer, but I haven't had anything published in a while; sort of a manager, but that sounds more boring than it is. So here’s the title: associate director of Texas Baptists’ Advocacy/Care Center. I get to work with the ethics, community development, restorative justice, chaplaincy and counseling ministries of the Baptist General Convention of Texas." Ferrell lives on a ranch in Texas that’s been in his family since 1904 and blogs at Ferrell’s Place: Looking at the World http://ferrellfoster.com/
