Yellow Brick Road
Hazards, Wizards, and Companions
By: David Voss

David Voss is a Presbyterian minister who has spent some forty-eight years as a pastor, mental hospital chaplain and pastoral counselor. His yellow brick road has included degrees from the University of Georgia, Union Theological Seminary in Virginia, Harvard Divinity School, and San Francisco Theological Seminary and a clinical internship at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Washington, D.C. His most important learning, however, has come from the thousands of hours as a companion on the road with persons who have come to him for help, gathered in groups to help each other, sat with him to reflect on his work, shared his life’s journey as friend or family member. David, a native of Georgia, now lives in Cary, North Carolina with his wife Lynn and in close touch with his three daughters and five grandchildren.
