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So together, we build and cross that bridge—discovering that the wisdom of the Bible is not distant or outdated, but present, personal, and powerfully relevant for our lives today.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 10:24-39
Pentecost +3
In this well known Gospel text from Matthew, Jesus is telling us that fear is the opposite of faith. And yet, fear, unlike faith hangs on us like humidity on a hot summer’s night. Fear coats us from front and back and attracts all kinds of grunge and stains. So that even when it dries it’s still sticky. Fear has a terrible effect on the heart, spirit and soul.
Join me, as we discover together how Jesus’ words about fear and faith can speak into our lives today.
