About meDavid Weiss is a theologian, writer, poet and hymnist committed to doing “public theology” around issues of sexuality, justice, diversity, and peace. In his work he seeks to use his gifts as a writer and poet to bring the strength of his academic training into fruitful conversation with the wider audiences of church and society. A graduate of Wartburg College, Wartburg Seminary, and the University of Notre Dame, he has taught religion and theology at the University of Notre Dame, Luther College, Augsburg College, the College of St. Catherine, and Hamline University.
David is a lifelong Lutheran and is presently Campus Ministry Coordinator for Social Justice and an adjunct instructor in Theology at the College of St. Catherine. Beyond his professional work, David has been active in local peace work and both locally and nationally as an ally for GLBT persons in faith communities. His writing has appeared in newspapers, periodicals, and newsletters throughout the U.S. Each spring he spends one week teaching poetry to 4th-8th graders at the Twin Cities Young Author’s Conference.
David and his wife, Margaret, have a blended family of five children, and live in St. Paul, Minnesota. They are deeply invested in the life of their congregation, St. Paul-Reformation Lutheran Church in St. Paul, where David teaches Sunday school and serves on both the Church Council and the Wingspan (GLBT advocacy) Committee.

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
