68 Arthur Boers Shattered: A Son Picks Up the Pieces of His Father’s Rage

My guest is Arthur Boers.

As well as walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain and the Bruce Trail in Ontario, Arthur pastored in urban, suburban, rural, and inner city settings in Ontario and the Midwest. He also taught at several seminaries. A priest in the Anglican Church of Canada, he is a Benedictine oblate.

In the last thirty years, he authored or edited a dozen books addressing the intersection of faithfulness and daily life. His award-winning books include The Way is Made by Walking: A Pilgrimage Along the Camino de Santiago, Never Call Them Jerks: Healthy Responses to Difficult Behavior, and Living into Focus: Choosing What Matters in an Age of Distractions. Arthur loves to study and holds a half dozen academic degrees, his favorite the MFA in Creative Writing from Seattle-Pacific University that he completed in his seventh decade.

The oldest son of Dutch immigrants, English is his second language; he learned how to pronounce his name in kindergarten. He has been married to Lorna McDougall for over four decades and they are the proud parents of two adults, both married, and grandfather to the incomparable Norah. He is crazy about his cat Fraser (aka Phraserblade of Fraserburgh). On his best days, he navigates currents – by canoe, kayak, or paddleboard – on the South Branch of the Muskoka River. To get him dancing, play Chicago blues.
