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 ancient scriptures and our present cultural context, and I aim to bridge it 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 serve as Rector at Holy Spirit Anglican Church in Akron, OH, USA, within the Anglican Diocese of the Great Lakes (ADGL) and the Province of the Anglican Church of North America (ACNA).

Read Luke 2:15-20
Christmas Day (Year A)
A couple of Christmases ago, as a family, we vacationed in New York City the week before Christmas Eve. Up on 5th Avenue, right by the Rockefeller Center, there was a life-size Nativity Scene. As expected, it offers all the usual characters; however, if you looked closely, you could see that baby Jesus was chained and bolted to the ground, ensuring that no prankster would carry him off, because, seemingly, it happened every year.
In fact, out of curiosity, I discovered that if you Google "stolen baby Jesus," you will find dozens of news stories of the infant Jesus being taken from manger scenes all across the country. Year after year, in town after town, from church corners to front yards, someone will think it sport to steal baby Jesus out of the manger, and he is often never to be seen again.
