Rev. Stanley Maszczak

Rev. Stanley Maszczak (he/they) is an ordained minister serving the Metaphysical Chapel of Life (Church of Enlightenment). He's also a U.S. Army Reserve combat veteran, military retiree, and inclusion coach. His work has been greatly impacted by his journey out of Christian fundamentalism in youth and early adulthood, as a gay and gender nonconforming person.

He served in the U.S. Army Reserve for more than 20 years, both during the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy era and after its repeal, working in military police, public affairs, and radio & television, before spending his last several years serving in the Equal Opportunity and Harassment Prevention and Response Programs.

Stanley joined the Chapel in January of 2018, has served as a past Board President, and currently serves as our newsletter editor. He is a lifelong student, and has a B.A. in American Studies; a Bachelor of Metaphysical Science; and recently completed the requirements for the Graduate Certificate in Spirituality & Social Change at the Pacific School of Religion.
