In this article, the author begins by talking about power and his early vocational discernment. He continues by sharing his ongoing vocational discernment and religious education for liberation. Over the past twenty years the author has worked for a Catholic diocese and two Catholic universities. He has also done significant volunteer work in several Catholic parishes to which he has belonged. During this time he has, in his life and work, become more and more committed to: (1) making accessible the unique potential of religious education to be a freeing, liberating activity; (2) exploring how social power can be used in life-giving rather than oppressive ways in ministerial and educational relationships; and (3) drawing attention to the necessity of balancing academic enquiry with pastoral involvement and the importance of addressing pressing sociomoral issues from a religious educational perspective.
