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So together, we build and cross that bridge—discovering that the wisdom of the Bible is not distant or outdated, but present, personal, and powerfully relevant for our lives today.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

Seventeenth Sunday After Pentecost
Kerygma vs Didache
Theologians use these imposing and distinct Greek words when explaining the church's ministry.
- Kerygma (or gospel proclamation) is used to ignite faith.
- Didache (or biblical and doctrinal teaching) is used to build up an understanding.
In preaching, it is essential to keep a balance between the two. However, the texts demand that we receive instruction (Didache) about the basics of the faith they seek to profess. The appointed readings for this Sunday give us an excellent opportunity to learn about the nature of faith.
