UEC and ECMN

I have been hired to consult with a few ministries in the Episcopal Church in Minnesota (ECMN) including the UEC (University Episcopal Community), the Episcopal Campus Ministry at the University of Minnesota. My first bit of advice for them was to get rid of the acronyms, which can be exclusive or coded-language.

Vacation Destination

We just closed on a house on the unbelievably beautiful Lake Elmore in North Central Vermont. We are close to Lisa's work and close enough to all the fun vacation things we like to do. We even have fifty feet or so of our own beach!

Part of the decision to leave Ottawa was driven by Lisa's vocational frustrations in Canada. Well, those woes are behind us as Lisa will beginning work in the great state of Vermont!

The Next Chapter

January 1, 2017, we began work with the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa at St. Luke's parish in Chinatown. The temperature was as cold as our reception was warm.
