'''Kenneth Wapnick, Ph.D.''' was born in 1942 in Brooklyn, NY.  He is one of the three primary transcriber-editors of the work known as [[A Course In Miracles]].  Educated as a psychologist, he currently heads the [[Foundation for A Course In Miracles]] (or FACIM).  FACIM is the copyright holder to ''A Course In Miracles''.  

== Childhood ==

Kenneth was Born to a culturally Jewish family that was only semi-observant in Jewish religious practice. His upbringing continued in Brooklyn during which he attended a traditional Jewish elementary school, or ''Yeshiva'', for the first eight grades of his education. 

After his completion of the Yeshiva training, much to his relief, Kenneth was permitted to attend public schools. By this point, Kenneth considered himself to be an agnostic, sensing numerous points of personal incompatibility between his own temperament and the overall temperament of the Jewish religion of his heritage. 

While in public schools, Kenneth discovered his first professional interest: psychology, and especially the works of [[Sigmund Freud|Freudian]] [[psychology]].
