The Carver Research Institute
for the practice of anthroposophical spiritual science
Current Research Members:
Michael Judge
Michael is an independent researcher into the question of human and world evolution, working to compare and understand what natural science has uncovered and theorized about it with the results of Rudolf Steiner's research out of esoteric or spiritual sources. Michael got his degree in History from the University of Maryland, is a trained Bothmer Gymnast, Basketball enthusiast and long time resident of Prince George's County, Maryland. He now works as a history teacher - and much more - at the Emerson Waldorf School in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Patrick Kennedy
Patrick's interest has been to bridge the divide between those things which appear to be forever separated: science and religion, the inner life of the soul and the world of things and matter, human beings and human cultures. In spiritual science he found the methods to do so. Patrick is an ordained priest in the Christian Community, a world-wide movement for religious renewal that was aided by and ensouled with Anthroposophy or modern spiritual science. He is also a graduate of the University of California, Santa Cruz, in Cultural Anthropology (cultural theory), He currently works as a Co-Director of the Seminary of the Christian Community in Spring Valley, NY and in the congregation there.
