Fun with Woody

Remember when I said my life was going to change? Boy was that a "misunderestimation" [sic]. It has and in all the best ways. Woody is so smart, I started him on a five-string bass.

The Leopold Express Rides

I present Robert Woodard Leopold, also known as Woody. I think my life is about to change...

CDSP and ECMN SfF Faculty!?!

I am pleased to announce that this fall I will join the instructors at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific's (CDSP) Center for Anglican Learning and Leadership (CALL) in conjunction with the Episcopal Church in Minnesota's (ECMN) School for Formation (SfF). That's a lot of acronyms, but I am too excited to be put off by what is normally a pet peeve of mine.

Interim Rector

Effective July 1, I have been called to be interim rector at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Colchester, Vermont. I am so excited to be working with them.

Vacation Destination 2

When it rains, it pours. We were lucky enough to win a foreclosure in downtown Stowe, Vermont. This will be our retirement home, as it may take me that long to fix it up. I guess we are staying in Vermont for a while...

Back to Minnesota

Apparently the work I did in Minnesota was valuable enough to have me return. I am beginning a second tenure in Minnesota. This time, I was even able to bring Lisa along.

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.
