| Introduction | I am a priest of the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio. Over the past 35 or so years, I have served my Lord as an Army Chaplain, college professor, prison chaplain, and parish priest. My current posting is to St. John's Episcopal Church in Lancaster, Ohio, a beautiful neo-gothic structure constructed in the late 1840's and designed by Daniel Sifford, a prominent local architect. I love all things good and true and beautiful. Agrarian values and practices provide opportunities for me to develop and express my faith as a traditional Anglican. Angling and Shooting are among my diversions, and dogs and horses are among my friends. Gardening and chicken farming keep me humble and teach me to trust God everyday for sustinance. The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful family which is committed to serving Him and this Republic in which we are blessed to live. I pray that these ramblings I occasionally post might help some fellow pilgrim along the way to heaven. |
