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So together, we build and cross that bridge—discovering that the wisdom of the Bible is not distant or outdated, but present, personal, and powerfully relevant for our lives today.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 5.1-12
Fourth Sunday After Epiphany
Matthew’s account of Jesus’ Beatitude goes deep into the core of Christian character and identity. The question that Jesus is asking is, “Who are you?”
Jesus begins his sermon on the mount with the Beatitudes, eight statements that we have to be careful not to make some trite one-liners or something that we just put on the wall or the refrigerator door because it’s sweet and nice.
These eight statements that Jesus makes are critical… to comprehending Christian character and identity.
