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.

Read John 10:22-30
Fourth Sunday of Easter
For the two and a bit years of the COVID-19 pandemic, I averaged roughly one funeral a month, sometimes two. I regret that experience because the congregation could not share in that ministry with me. Because I know that even today, some of you would not live the way you do if once a month you had to spend three or four hours writing a funeral meditation about the meaning of death, that if you had to think and pray about what you would say to the family, and if you had to stand beside the open grave and the mound of dirt, and try to make the critical farewell significant for the grieving family and friends.
I regret that I was the one who did all of this once or twice a month. Not because it was a hard job and I wished someone else would do it, but because it was a gift (a gift of eternity) to me, and I wanted to share this with my congregation.
