Shuan Rose, Attorney at Law
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND:
Leadership Development Program, Johns Hopkins University 1997
Juris doctor, University of Maryland law school, 1984
Bachelor of Laws Degree, University West Indies, 1980
I grew up in Jamaica and went to elementary and high school there. I then
went away to Barbados for undergraduate studies. In 1980, because of
political and economic disturbances in Jamaica, my family immigrated to the
United States, where I pursued a degree in the Law and then later began to
practice law. I spent 11 years as criminal prosecutor and then decided to
go into private practice.
I am single and have no children, but I am looking to change both of those
conditions:-).
HOW I BECAME A CHRISTIAN
I have been a Christian since 1975. I was always raised in the Methodist
church, but became a Christian through the ministry of interschool Christian
fellowship, which are Christian ministry aimed at high school children in
Jamaica. Since I become a Christian, I've attended a wide variety of
churches, and Christian fellowship, from charismatic groups to the Roman
Catholic Church. I have tended to settle in evangelical churches and indeed
I attend one now. It is Faith Fellowship Church, a biblically conservative
non-denominational evangelical church. I go there because I like the
worship, my friends go there, and more theologically, I like their serious
approach to scripture, even though my approach is different.
INTERESTS:
I read a lot in theology, philosophy, science, history, and fiction. I'm
also interested in many kinds of music, including jazz, classical, Caribbean
(of course), and Latin. I also follow sports. I am particularly interested
in the science faith interface, which is why I joined this listserv. I am
very impressed by the quality of many of the contributors, who are both
highly educated thinkers and strongly committed Christians. There was a
time in which I thought that you could not be both. I am also interested in
international affairs, and in the possibility of bringing the Third World
and the industrialized first world together to meet the common problems of
global poverty and warfare.
