I feel blessed to be where I am meant to be. Briefly, here's my story. I was born in Rochester, NY in a family of three boys and one oldest sister. We were all baptized as infants at St. Thomas's Parish. We siblings grew, competed, celebrated our differences, and loved our mom and dad in unique ways. We were encouraged to seek truth and to make justice the headlight on our own pathway. My pathway led me to Christian formation, experiences of God's loving grace in my life, and a deep desire to seek God in those I meet.
I am a lover of God and a follower of our Savior Jesus Christ. I am a believer in life as a faith-in-god filled journey. I am a champion of underdogs and those who are unjustly disenfranchised. My two sons and their mother, from whom I am divorced, live in Charlotte, NC. I will be married, in April, to an exceptional woman, Teresa, whom I met through seminary.
How did I get to Trinity, Belleville as your Interim Priest In Charge? Years ago, friends in my parish in North Carolina, where my young family lived, asked me when my study for the priesthood would begin. I answered the call and studied for a Master of Divinity degree at Hood Theological Seminary, an AME Zion seminary, Salisbury, NC. After graduating from Hood Seminary and completing an Anglican Studies program at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific, I came to Detroit to see how the Diocese of Michigan was growing. I came, felt a call to serve in this fascinating place, and was accepted into the ordination process in Michigan. Throughout the ordination process, I grew in faith and was ordained as a Deacon and as a Priest in 2022. I have been serving as an extended supply priest in the Diocese since Easter, 2022.
My prayer and longing for us at Trinity, Belleville is to journey together in Lent and be newly open to God's call to each of us to serve God. We will examine the times and places in our lives where we have been unfaithful to God. We will make room so that God may complete in us the work of salvation. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to grow in faith and reach out to others with hearts filled with God's love.
