Until recently, I have been known primarily as a parish priest in the Anglican Church of Canada, and the rector of St. Stephen's Church in Calgary. It has been a role for which I seem to have been well suited and which, mostly, I enjoyed. 

 

But there were always other callings--paths I have often neglected in order to pursue my chosen vocation. Now, finally, having retired from my ministry, I am free to pursue them ... and to share them with you!
