Benjamin advocates an inclusive prayer strategy focusing on collective empowerment through universal religious historical themes, their natural imprints on our imagination, their enduring expressions in ancient texts and religious customs, and their impact on humanity’s efforts to seek and to fulfill our Divine Mandate to live in abundance and success.
Benjamin received additional spiritual scholarly training and attended Princeton Theological Seminary. There, Benjamin became a chaplain at an in-patient addiction/mental health treatment facility where he led spirituality groups and conducted weekly worship services.
