   Born Richard Clark in Bethel, Kan., Nov. 11, 1951, Brother Jonathan entered the novitiate in 1977 and was professed a year later, Aug. 12, 1978. After studying at Conception Seminary College and serving as an assistant in the retreat house, he entered the field of nursing.
   
   Brother Jonathan received his Licensed Practical Nurse certification from nearby Northwest Missouri State University in 1981, and for the next five years served first as assistant infirmarian and then as infirmarian.
   
   He returned to school in 1986 and three years later received his nursing degree from Maryville University in St. Louis. Except for two years in which he directed the Printery House customer service department and supervised mailing and shipping, Brother Jonathan has contributed his nursing skills to the infirmary and seminary.
   
   In 1994 he earned board certification as a gerontological (care for the elderly) nurse, and the following year he earned certification as a respiratory therapist from the University of Kansas Medical Center.
   
   Along with his nursing duties, Brother Jonathan also served as socius (assistant to director of formation) from 1996 through last year.
