[RestoreTheRiver]

I'm 53 years old, and have been married 17 years to my wonderful wife, Linda. I married into "instant family" at that time, as Linda came into our marriage with 4 children, then aged 8-12. I thought I knew it was going to be a major adjustment. I knew nothing!


[B]But, God is good. We not only got through it, the kids all adults now, say that I did better as a stepdad than I think I did. I am humbled by their praise, and their love.

Linda and I are Grandparents now. That is one of the true joys of life!

I was, and am, called to the ministry. I have a B.A. in Theological and Historical Studies, and an M.Div. with a Pastoral Ministries emphasis, both from Oral Roberts University. I've served as a priest in the Evangelical Orthodox Church, and. since 2003, in the Communion of Convergence Churches; a sister church to the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches.

The Convergence Movement...God's bringing the separated "streams" of the church, the Evangelical, Sacramental, and Charismatic, together again...is my heart, and the theme of my ministry.

Almost all of my ministry has been as a worker-priest. I'm presently the Site Manager over the Janitorial Program for a contract company at two Chrysler Plants.
