I’m an Anglican evangelical minister from Alabama.
In ordained ministry for more than 20 years, I have been an Anglican bishop since 2022. My ministry has included pastoral work, chaplaincy, writing and editing, teaching, and public speaking.
Most recently, I served as a hospital chaplain with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in Alabama, Missouri, and Georgia. I pastored congregations in Alabama, Indiana, and Texas. In Texas, I was also a teacher and administrator for a Christian classical school. I ministered as a chaplain in the U.S. Army, with combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Before the military, I worked in both parish and nonparochial ministry in Alabama. I was frequently engaged in activities surrounding the public expression of Christian faith and the sanctity of human life.
As an Alabama native, my early education was in rural public school. I earned a Bachelor of Arts from The University of Alabama and a Master of Divinity at Beeson Divinity School (Samford University).
As a Christian committed to the gospel and biblical ethics, I have signed the Nashville Statement on biblical sexuality and The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel. I support those statements of clarity about biblical teaching.
Medical concerns necessitated my retirement from full-time ministry in 2024. I pray for restoration of my health and seek to be content with the Lord’s will. In the meantime, within my health limitations, I serve as bishop for chaplaincy and edit historic Anglican doctrinal texts.
