In the Footsteps

I miss my dad. He died in 1996 just days before I assumed an elected leadership role in my local denomination. This is important to me because he was my role model as a minister – a lay priest in the Episcopal Church.

I got a black doctoral robe when I graduated with my DMin in 2007, but it is the cassock I just purchased for my ordination to Word and Sacrament that means the most – for it is like his.
