Carl Lindemann is a storyteller who merges religion, science and politics. He studied Ancient Philosophy at Wesleyan University, then trained for Unitarian ministry at Harvard Divinity School, focusing on pastoral counselling. After serving as a boarding school chaplain at Phillips Exeter Academy and in parish ministry at First Church in Salem, Massachusetts (infamous for the witch trials), he changed course into media and advocacy. He moved from Austin, Texas, to South Africa in 2017 to deepen his interfaith, comparative perspective on diverse democracy. His interests reach beyond the humanities into the sciences through his passion for astronomy. He frequently guides visitors through the night skies on clear, starlit nights in the Karoo wilderness outside of Cape Town.
