Your Anglican 'Species'

Priest

Your 'Day Job'

Associate Rector and Ph.D grad student

What you do for fun and re-creation?

Sing...in five different choirs (not simultaneously, although I've tried that...)
Play...guitar (badly) and piano (better)
Cook...I am the man with the pan!
Set...I come from a long, proud line of porch-setters and beach-setters. Sometimes I sets and thinks, and sometimes I just sets...
Walk...I live in a town where I can actually walk: to the store, to the bank, to the post office, to my own office. It is wonderful to give the car three-day weekends off (usually mid-week, but the car doesn't care)

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

Fixation on uproar. As if we've never had it before, or won't have it again...we get caught in the whirlpool o' crazy (ours or someone else's) and forget what we're really about--which, last time I checked, had something to do with proclaiming the good news of God's salvation in Christ, in season and out, and then letting people respond to it as they will. The job description "Savior of the world" is already taken!

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

Someone told me lately that "The central doctrine" for Anglicans is the Incarnation. I think that's right--we value the other pieces of the story (the crucifixion, the resurrection, and so on) but Incarnation, God becoming one of us so that we might share in the divine life, has such magnificent implications for what we are called to be about. Bringing our particularities (warts and all) into a relationship and conversation with the presence of God revealed in those particularities...what a gift to offer those around us!

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

Just stumbled across this outfit...I'll have to get back to you on that one.
