For 27 years I have been a progressive priest of the church. I am passionate about growing the church through excellence in preaching, liturgy and music. I believe that -- as the US presiding Bishop says -- ”If it’s not about love, its not about God.” I have always worked to develop inclusive communities where all are important and valued.
