Tom David Siebert

Tom David Siebert arrives at his Humanist stance after a life of having broadly experienced Christianity as a Congregationalist, Roman Catholic, Byzantine Rite Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Episcopal Church and Independent Progressive Catholic. He was ordained a priest in 1981, serving in parishes and then living as a monk from 1989 to 2001. He was inactive as a clergyman from 2001 to 2006. Since October 2006 he has served as part-time pastor of a small community of Progressive Catholics in Richmond. His principal occupation, since March 2012, is Chaplain to the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Division at Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU. He would be gratified to continue in that position for the remainder of his professional working life.
