After moving to Denver, Colorado, he became a registered architect.
It wasn't long before he found out that he enjoyed reading and writing more than he did the construction of buildings, so he moved on to become an educator in Dallas, Texas with the Great Books Foundation, which sponsors adult and children's discussion groups. This new path led him within a few years to enroll at the Starr King School for the Ministry in Berkeley, California, from which he graduated during the tumultuous 1960s.
His first church was in Milford, New Hampshire, where he wrote his book, TIRED DRAGONS: Adapting Church Architecture to Changing Needs, selected as one of the 50 "Best From Books" in the first edition of The People's Almanac. After this peripatetic life from one end of the country to the other, Ed, his wife, and two children moved to Ipswich, Massachusetts, where he has lived for the past 40 years. He served the Northshore Unitarian Universalist Church in Danvers, Massachusetts for 33 years, retiring in 2005. He was also active in the denomination as an architectural consultant to churches, was awarded a Merrill Fellowship at Harvard University, and appointed visiting lecturer and counselor to students at the Harvard Divinity School.
In retirement, he and his wife spend a great deal of their time at the beach and enjoying the coastal amenities of Ipswich and the other beautiful communities on the North Shore.lihat lebih sedikit
