"I wanted not to live on a pedestal"

Description

Fr. Ken McGuire describes himself as a theological liberal who peers say still gets along well with conservatives. Father Ken says a Ph.D. in anthropology shaped him to understand how people approach situations from different mindsets and it made him the priest that he is. In this conversation with Jennifer Szweda Jordan recorded for The Paulist Fathers, Fr. Ken talks about growing up on a farm, joining the Catholic Church as an adult, and working to be a priest not on a pedestal, but among the people. Photo by Ryan Haggerty.
