| Introduction | I am a graduate of Milligan College and I am a seminarian at Sewanee, the School of Theology at the University of the South where I am working on a Master of Divinity degree and journeying towards ordination to the priesthood in the Episcopal Church. I am a postulant for the priesthood in the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee. This blog is just a collection of my thoughts on life. Some posts will deal with Church issues, others with political issues, and then everything else will just be pretty random. |
