Abram Kielsmeier-Jones (Abram K-J, for short) pastors a racially and economically (and personality!) diverse Christian church in the heart of Boston. He co-founded the Spiritual Safety Center, a nonprofit dedicated to helping church members and leaders build safe places of faith. He has spent more than twenty years in youth and pastoral ministry, working at small, mid-sized, and large churches in Illinois, Virginia, and Massachusetts. He's led (and followed) in the church from multiple chairs: worship music leader, consultant, trainer, supervisor, volunteer recruiter, curriculum developer, teacher, chili cook-off contestant, and expert chair stacker.

He studied philosophy at Wheaton College (IL) and earned his M.Div. from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, with an emphasis in Urban Ministry, using every last elective to further study Greek and Hebrew biblical texts.

Abram's interests include safeguarding vulnerable populations: children and people of all ages who have been impacted by abuse, racism, and injustice. Abram has been published in _Currents j_ournal, Christian Century, Christianity Today online, Sojourners online, Preaching Today, and more.
