Welcome to There Is Room at the Table.
I’m glad you’re here. I believe everyone deserves a place where they feel welcome, heard, and respected. That includes respecting your privacy.
This page explains what information may be collected when you visit this website, how it’s used, and what choices you have.

You are welcome to read this website without submitting personal information directly to me.
If you choose to interact with the website, you may share information through its forms.
Prayer Requests
When you submit a prayer request, you may provide your name, email address, and whatever is on your heart.
Your name and email address are optional.
Prayer requests are intended to be private. They are not published publicly, and I will not intentionally share your request or identifying information without your explicit permission.
Please share only what you’re comfortable sharing.
A Seat for Your Story
When you submit a story, you’ll be asked to provide a contact email address, your story, and your preferred way of being credited.
Stories are submitted for possible publication, but nothing is published automatically.
If your story is selected for consideration, I’ll contact you to discuss any edits and give you the opportunity to review the final version.
Your story will not be published without your explicit approval of that final version.
Your contact email address will not be included in the published story.
