I love Trinity Church

 I've loved every church I've served.

St. James in Charleston, WV--a black church until we were integrated during my time there. It was the smartest congregation I served since many of members were teachers and administrators at a prodominately black college.

St. Paul's in New Haven--more educated because of Yale and very liberal.

St. John's in Waterbury another integrated church with lots of folks from the islands.

The Middlesex Cluster--three very different churches in that county but all willing to put up with my far-left views.

And now Trinity for several years. Liberal again and quite small--25 is a large Sunday crowd.

I've been blessed to serve churches that put up with me.

I retired from full-time ministry after 21 years at St. John's. Middlesex and Trinity used me a few days a week.

I've lived a good priest's life and the Episcopal Church's retirement payments make me better paid than when I was full time!

I couldn't ask for anything more....

About Me

some ponderings by an aging white man who is an Episcopal priest in Connecticut. Now retired but still working and still wondering what it all means...all of it.
