Finding Healing and Refuge

The ACNA Diocese of Pittsburgh asked me to write a blog post about my experience as minister-in-residence at Grace Anglican Church. Here is an excerpt:

During those painful weeks, Grace Anglican facilitated my transition to pastor-in-residence, and during my family’s year-long sojourn, we have been blessed by the Anglican structures of worship, but also by the gospel culture in the congregation that makes those forms meaningful.

…God has used Grace Anglican as a place of refuge and growth for me and my family, and soon it will be our turn to be “sent”: even though we will still live locally, I have accepted a call to serve another church as pastor. 

We stumbled into Grace with heads bowed low; we are sent out with our heads lifted heavenward, in dignity and joy.

More updates to come in the weeks ahead!
