PATTON DODD

I’m the executive director of storytelling and communications for the H. E. Butt Foundation. I live in San Antonio, Texas, where I also run one of the foundation’s programs, a storytelling initiative called Know Your Neighbor that seeks to bridge our city’s economic divides.

I used to be a journalist, academic, and professional writer. My previous books include My Faith So Far: A Story of Conversion and Confusion and The Prayer Wheel (co-authored with Jana Riess and David Van Biema). You can see more of my writing below. I hold a Ph.D. in religion and literature from Boston University.
