Associates in Advocacy

AIA's mission is to help the Church fulfill its own intentions to be just. AS ADVOCATES, WE WILL SEEK RECONCILIATION AND RESTORATION WHERE POSSIBLE AND JUSTICE ALWAYS.

I am on record as a consultant early in this case and feel I should not offer my commentary on this ruling until after the case has been resolved.

About AIA

Jerry Eckert: I write/edit both Jerry's Place and the blog for Associates in Advocacy (AIA). I get only one profile to put in both. For more on AIA, go to their website. Born in 1935, I was raised mostly in Waukesha, WI. I attended the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee and in Madison for a BS in Anthropology (1958). SMU's Perkins School of Theology granted me a BD in 1962. By then, Ann and I had been married three years. I served churches in Wisconsin. We adopted David (1965) and Karen (1968). I received a Masland Fellowship in 1967 and attended Union Theological Seminary in New York for a school year. In 1985, Ann went to New Orleans in a career move and I took five years' leave of absence. In 1990, we returned to pursue our careers in Wisconsin and retired in 1995, moving back to Slidell, LA, where we had previously lived. I focussed on writing and Associates in Advocacy responsibilities. In 2003, we moved to Port Charlotte, FL, to take care of Ann's mother and stayed on after she passed away. Surviving Hurricane Charlie, we live in active retirement.
