About Me

In June 2013, I began a new ministry as Canon to the Ordinary in the Episcopal Diocese of Western Massachusetts, which is a fancy way of saying that I serve on Bishop Doug Fisher's Executive Team. My primary work in this role is to support clergy and congregations toward the larger goal of furthering God's Reign of mercy, compassion, and hope, especially in times of clergy transitions. Prior to this work, I served for two decades as a parish priest and four years in an ecumenical campus ministry setting. I've also taught the Bible to undergraduates as a lecturer at Assumption College in Worcester.

This blog is a place where I post sermons from my itinerant ministry across our diocese and also try to "think out loud" about matters of faith and life in the 21st century, a time when we face not only great challenges but also extraordinary opportunities.

I have been married to Hathy since 1986; we live in Worcester. Our two grown sons now live in Washington, DC and in New Jersey.
