David Hayward

I have a Masters in Theological Studies from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary near Boston, as well as a Diploma in Religious Studies and Ministry from McGill University in Montreal.

In 2010 I left the professional paid clergy after almost 30 years of ministry. I am still passionate about how people can find and follow their own spiritual path with courage and joy, as well as in how people can freely gather and form communities in healthy ways.

I started a blog called nakedpastor in 2006, and initiated my public undressing of religion, religious community and spirituality through my writings, art and cartoons. Thousands of people are challenged and entertained by nakedpastor every day. I love helping people undress their own religion to the core essential of their own unique spirituality.

In 2012, I also launched The Lasting Supper, and online resource site and community for spiritually independent people to help themselves to companionship and support for their spiritual journeys.

My art, cartoons, writings, books, and one-on-one coaching have found their way all around the world.

Helping people to help themselves to enjoy life beyond belief!
