Time for an update...
Sorry I have been absent for so long. I've had my hands full of late. Perhaps you saw the news yesterday and I wanted to simply let you all know that though I have been excommunicated, I am still alive and well.
Ah, I now understand what you were talking about on FB. I checked the site and discovered, I too have been excommunicated.
Interesting, because, on the Concerned Nazarene group on FB, I was expressing some of my concerns with some "emergent folks," and some of the stuff on Concerned Nazarenes, and I was declaring that I'm not "emergent."
As you know, I identify as Wesleyan/Anglican & I have been a big fan of Bob Webber. Guess that makes me "emergent!" - And now, indeed, my name has shown up on Emergent Nazarenes.
I grew up in Circleville, OH where I played many sports in school: wrestling, football, baseball, soccer and where I played trombone in the band.
During Jr High I felt called into Christian ministry. I felt specifically called into youth ministry and went to Mount Vernon Nazarene University. After college I worked to help plant Mt. Vernon West Side Church of the Nazarene. I met Antonina and got married in 2002. After the honeymoon we moved to KC to attend Nazarene Theological Seminary. I served as youth pastor at St Paul's Church of the Nazarene for two and a half years.
I am now the Pastor of Toronto First Church of the Nazarene in Toronto, OH.
We have two sons, Pax and Pierce, and a daughter Pria. We love our dog Magna.
