From 1975-80 he was part of the Catholic Worker community in New York City, working with CW founder Dorothy Day for the last five years of her life. For two years he served as managing editor of The Catholic Worker newspaper. He studied religion and literature at Harvard College and later earned a ThM degree in theology from Harvard Divinity School, before joining Orbis in 1987. He has continued to promote the work and legacy of Dorothy Day, editing five volumes of her writings, including The Duty of Delight: The Diaries of Dorothy Day, and All the Way to Heaven: Selected Letters of Dorothy Day.
