| Introduction | I am an Orthodox Christian pastor (priest) now located in the old Globeville neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. I was a raised in a wonderful conservative evangelical Baptist church, and graduated from two of Evangelical Protestantism's leading institutions of higher education: Biola University (La Mirada, CA) and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (So. Hamilton, MA). I have also done graduate level study at the University of Notre Dame and St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary (Crestwood, NY). My journey to the historic Christian Faith took me through many expressions of the Christian Faith, including several years in the Episcopal Church. We were received into the Orthodox Church in 1990. I am a married priest, with four adult children. |
