Fred Grewe is a retired Board-Certified Chaplain (Association of Professional Chaplains) with a Doctor of Ministry degree from the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley. After seventeen years as a hospice chaplain, Fred is now the interim pastor at Congregational United Church of Christ in Ashland, Oregon. His interest in working with the dying began in the early 1990’s with the death of his best friend who succumbed to AIDS.
Fred is a mystery – even to himself. He is a middle-aged, bald, white man who believes God loves him very much and the power of this belief has helped transform a frightened, angry, little man into a more loving and considerate human being.
Is this the Fred Grewe that attended WVU in the early 70’s!
Thank you
Dear Fred-
My name is Aline Garcia Rubio. I am a teacher and administrator at the Catlin Gabel school in Portland, Oregon. I am coteaching a humanities course called Life Worth Living (for senior students exploring this very question through a variety of lenses). We are in the midst of a unit about death and suffering and are very interested in your work. I am wondering if there is a chance for us to communicate with you (maybe for 30 min) … to hear how you view life worth living through the lens of the dying. My mother works in hospice counseling as well, but lives in Mexico City and is not bilingual… I imagine your perspective is rich and deep. If there is any chance for us to talk with you in the next 2-3 weeks, please let me know. Best wishes either way. And thanks for considering.

It is about 75% done and I have submitted proposals to 5 publishers. I am planning to have a draft done my the end of August. If you’d like to look at that and offer comments I’d be glad to send it to you.
Thanks for the interest.

So glad we had that brief conversation the other day. I have begun reading your book. Thank you.
Hello Fred, I am wondering the best way to contact you these days. Kathleen would like to invite “Mr. Grewe” to her wedding.

Hello Fred,
I met you in a meeting with Mark Yaconelli as a part of the Compassion Conference back in May.
I have an idea for a local project that I’d like to discuss with you, and perhaps Joel Garavaglia-Maiorano.
I started an organization here locally, Bridging the Divide, and the idea I have in mind would involve a community activity to put Bridging into Action.

Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss further.
My cell is 541 840 1390.
Warm Regards,
