Kevan Barley’s Summary

As a college teacher I resembled the cross-eyed discus thrower who did not set any records, but certainly kept the crowd alert! As a plumber, I know sewage when I see it and am not afraid to call it such. As an old-time banjoist, I ain't laid an egg since 'way last spring.

Competent to teach in all areas of Christian life and thought, with doctoral-level expertise in theological history and denominational systems.
