St. George's Scholar
 
On February 24, 2008, I was appointed "St. George's Scholar" at St. George's Anglican Church (Anglican Network in Canada). On October 6, 2008, I was licensed as a priest in the Anglican Network in Canada, a member of the Anglican Church in North America, serving at St. George's.

For those who still ask "Why have you made this decision?", some other voices respond ...

Metropolitan Hilarion: "The dialogue with liberal Anglicans is over"

"Liberal tendencies in Protestant and Anglican communities present a challenge to those Christians and churches that have remained faithful to Gospel principles in doctrine, church order and morality. ... Our Church must sever its relations with those churches and communities that trample on the principles of Christian ethics and traditional morals. Here we uphold a firm stand based on Holy Scripture." Read more: HERE.
 

Philip Rieff: Protestant liberalism and the "deathworks"

"Churchly Protestantism ... [has broken] up into small, charismatically led, mental health cults engaged in the testing of spiritual tonics for failing nerves.  ...  The theology of the Creative Person ... forms the central pillar of the huge and variegated growth we know today as Protestant theology." (The Triumph of the Therapeutic: Uses of Faith after Freud, 109, 114)
 
"Liberalism has turned tragedy and transgression, pagan and Christian, into the biggest con game in the Western town.  ...  My work is a counterattack upon the objective intention of the deathworks that ... are milestones on the road to a culture that does not imagine itself on any road to truth." (Sacred Order/Social Order, Volume 1: My Life Among the Deathworks: Illustrations of Aesthetics and Authority,72, 96). 
 

Previous ministry

From 1976-1981, I worked as a French-language counselor for an evangelistic ministry in Toronto.
 
From 1981-1986, I taught in a variety of Evangelical churches in the region of Barcelona, Spain and sought ways to support education within Spanish Evangelical churches. (That work is now being continued under the excellent leadership of Dr. Pedro Zamora, director of SEUT.)
 
During those same years (1981-1986), I also taught at the Institute of Fundamental Theology, San Franciso de Borja (SJ), just outside of Barcelona.
 
In 1987, I was ordained a deacon in Christ's Holy Catholic Church on the feast of Pentecost (St. James Anglican Church, Kingston, Ontario), and in 1988 I was ordained a priest on Palm Sunday (Cathedral Church of St. George, Kingston, Ontario).
 
From 1987-2007 I was honourary assistant in the parish of Saint Mark the Evangelist (Anglican) Church in the Diocese of Ottawa and from 1996-2007 was also Scholar-in-Residence there.
