What you do for fun and re-creation?

Hang out with my daughters, read (everything from theology to graphic novels), exercise, watch movies and drink really great coffee.

What do you see as some of the biggest challenges facing Anglicans today?

Being faithful to Scripture and Tradition; being holy in our character and conduct; being thoughtful about the inherent challenges to do so in the postmodern context; being winsome and creative in how we engage that context in the Church's life and worship.

What do you see as some of the biggest opportunities for Anglicans today?

To inhabit the crossroads of ecumenical interchange; to introduce both Christians and non-Christians to the riches of the Great Tradition; to conjoin the best of the sacramental, charismatic and evangelical traditions; to support and encourage the growth of the Church in the developing world.

What do you want Anglimergent to be? and what other Anglimergent resources, gatherings, activities or events would you find helpful for your ministry?

I want Anglimergent to be biblically, theologically and spiritually mature, and to contribute to the worldwide Anglican discourse in ways that promote that maturity.
