Samuel L. Caraballo –
Nurturing lives & communities.
I am a Pastor and Bioethicist with decades of experience in the field of science education and Christian ministry. I have been academically trained at world-renowned institutions such as Harvard and Yale. Dedicated to the integration of faith, ethics and science, I seek to foster a deeper and more respectful understanding of contemporary ethical dilemmas in Hispanic Christian communities. Through my ministry and teaching, I strive to offer accessible and relevant interpretations of scripture, thereby promoting informed and conscious faith practice. My goal is to inspire and equip leaders and disciples to wisely face the ethical challenges of the modern world.
