Preaching can be compared to the art of bridge building. Just like a bridge connects two separate places, my goal as a preacher is to create a bridge between the world of the Bible and the postmodern world we live in today. It’s not just about explaining the biblical text; it’s about effective communication and delivering a God-given message to a living audience who needs to hear it. There’s a gap between the ancient scriptures and our present cultural context, and I aim to bridge that gap through practical preaching. Together, let’s bridge the divide and make the timeless wisdom of the Bible relevant and applicable to our lives today. Currently I am serving at Holy Spirit Anglican Church, Akron, OH as Rector and as Dean of the Anglican Diocese of the Great Lakes (ADGL) Pro-Cathedral.

First Sunday in Lent
We tend to think of our identity as highly personal; it’s something we developed, discovered, or even created ourselves. However, it turns out that our identity is firmly and unavoidably rooted in our relationships. As it turns out, pretty much everything I might say about myself involves others. What I call “my identity” ultimately emerges from the nexus of relationships I enjoy with countless others.
This idea of a relational identity is critical to understanding this week’s biblical readings, particularly those from Genesis, Matthew and Romans.
