Kenneth E Walsh

Upon his retirement he wrote a Bible stories book for all based on his classroom experience and additional research. Bible Stories for All without the Dogma, A Part of Cultural Literacy and its companion booklet, The Ethics Seminar Guide, Contemporary Ethical Issues Based on Bible Stories have formed the basis of his workshops on the Big Three Characters of the Old Testament: Abraham, Moses, and David; the Ethics Seminar; and the Women in the Old Testament.

He graduated from St. Pius X Preparatory Seminary, Uniondale, NY; the University of Pittsburgh with a B.A. degree in Political Science and Economics; and, later in life with M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction from Loyola College of Maryland. In his church he taught Sunday school from second grade through high school.
