For
four years I have been involved in the Building Bridges Coalition,
an interfaith non-profit corporation whose purpose is to promote dialogue
among the various faith traditions on Staten Island. We sponsor four
events each year: An interfaith Seder; a walk to promote tolerance
and respect; an interfaith Celebration of Thanksgiving, and the Unity
Project, featuring art created by Staten Island students in grades
6 - 12. 
Fr. Chuck was
born in 1962 in LaGrange, Illinois, the son of
an Episcopal priest, the Rev. Joseph A. Howell,
and the late Georgia Howell. He grew up in the suburbs
of Chicago and in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Born in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, Fr. Walsted was educated in Massachusetts and
Oregon and took his B.S. from the University of Oregon in Eugene
in 1956. He had switched his major from Architecture to History
when he discovered in himself a vocation to the priesthood and
began to prepare for seminary.
