Hey, friend, come and get to know us..."

These are the welcoming words of invitation heard so often by
Fr. Scott as he has traveled the world to meet Native peoples...first
as a youth-on-a-quest, and later as a Catholic priest.

Sacraments and Shamans chronicles Fr. Scott's attraction to
Native ways as a young boy, his participation in Native American
ceremonies, and his eagerness to learn more about the spiritual
practices and teachings of peoples in the northern and southern
hemispheres-a sacred life journey that has allowed him to travel
among women, men, and children of just about every human
culture.

As a priest and spiritual leader, with its plethora of daily
sacred activities, Fr Scott has observed many local churches and
ceremonies, as well as native "syncretistic" traditions, taking
time to consider their origin and effectiveness for the People.

As a continuing inquirer into all things spiritual, and a "people-connector"-
he brings together persons of different backgrounds, cultures, or experiences to share the richness of human contact found among the many cultures and
subcultures of our world.

"Little by little, one friendship at a time, the whole world benefits by our connecting to each other.
