"I can only answer the question 'What am I to do?' if I can answer the prior question 'Of what stories am I a part?'" Alasdair McIntyre, After Virtue.
That sentence describes something essential about ministry. It's the task of helping people understand their own narrative so that they can bring it into contact with the larger narrative of God.
About Me
- getreconnected
- I get paid to be a preacher and pastor, but I'm really interested in the fascinating places God, faith and religion show up in people's lives. I live in the beautiful village of Fenwick in the Niagara Region of Ontario and my church is in St. Catharines. Currently, I live with my wife, Rev. Diane Walker, just we two, because all of our four little birdies have flown the nest. Two will be getting married in 2012. And we are the ridiculously doting grandparents of two.
