Preaching, to me, is the work of building bridges.
A bridge doesn’t erase distance—it spans it. In the same way, every sermon seeks to connect two worlds: the ancient, living story of Scripture and the complex, searching world we inhabit today. The task isn’t simply to explain the text, but to faithfully carry its voice across the gap—so that what God has spoken then can be clearly heard now.
That gap is real. It stretches across centuries of culture, language, and lived experience. But it is not unbridgeable. Through thoughtful, practical preaching, I aim to help others walk that span—to see how the truth of Scripture still speaks, still challenges, and still transforms.
So together, we build and cross that bridge—discovering that the wisdom of the Bible is not distant or outdated, but present, personal, and powerfully relevant for our lives today.
I currently serve as Rector of Prince of Peace Anglican Church in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, within the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh (ADP) and the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA).

Read Matthew 5.38-48
Seventh Sunday After Epiphany (Year A)
The rules of this earthly kingdom are well known — it’s a dog-eat-dog world where only the strong survive. Jesus isn’t trying to modify the rules of the world. Jesus is not inviting us to figure out how to make the most of this world or how to live our best life now. And he’s not asking you to find a safe port amid the storms of this world. Instead, Jesus is starting a revolution by calling the rules of this world into question. And at the same time, redeeming this world that he loves.
