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So together, we build and cross that bridge—discovering that the wisdom of the Bible is not distant or outdated, but present, personal, and powerfully relevant for our lives today.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).

The Third Sunday of Easter (Year A)
But We Had Hoped
On this Third Sunday of Easter, we find ourselves walking a strangely familiar road—the road to Emmaus. It’s a road marked not just on a map, but etched into the experience of every human heart that has known disappointment, confusion, or the quiet temptation to give up hope.
If we listen closely, we recognize this road by a single, haunting phrase: “But we had hoped.” These are the words we speak when expectations collapse, and faith feels uncertain. And yet, it is precisely on this road that the risen Jesus draws near, often unrecognized, gently restoring what we thought was lost. Today, we walk that road again—together.
