March 14 2026 – Listening Across Distance: Reflections on “Seek Justice – Hearing the Voices of Palestinian Christians”
Gathering to Listen On this quiet Saturday afternoon, a small group of people gathered in the worship hall of St. Alban’s Anglican Church in Richmond. There was nothing grand about the setting—no large crowd, no media attention, no dramatic moment. Yet what took place in that room was something deeply meaningful: people came together to… Continue reading

March 4 2026 – At the Shared Table: Holding Generosity, Dignity, and Responsibility Together
When a Luxury Car Pulls Into the Meal Line Serving at our take‑out community meal is usually a place where compassion feels straightforward. We prepare food with the intention of easing someone’s burden—someone facing financial strain, food insecurity, or a difficult season of life. Most days, the line reflects that intention clearly. But recently, a… Continue reading

Feb 25 2026 – Reflections After Vestry: Trust, Faithfulness, and the Grace of a New Beginning
This past Sunday, we held our annual Vestry meeting — my first as rector since beginning this ministry last September. I’ve been part of the Anglican Church since 2010, and I’ve presided over Vestry meetings since 2016, but stepping into this one felt different. It carried the weight and wonder of a new chapter, not… Continue reading

Feb 25 2026 – Seeing One Another Clearly: Gratitude, Encounter, and Our Shared Responsibility
I would like to begin by expressing my sincere gratitude to the City of Richmond for its continued support of charitable and community outreach work. Over the years, the city’s partnership has enabled many organizations, volunteers, and community groups to serve those facing poverty, housing insecurity, and social isolation. This support is more than financial—it… Continue reading

Feb 10 2026 – They Did Not Dream of This
I spent part of my day at the drop‑in centre, helping an elderly Chinese‑speaking man fill out an application for supportive housing. The form was long and clinical, full of questions that would be difficult for anyone to answer, let alone someone who has lived through years of instability. We worked through it slowly, line… Continue reading

February 10 2026 – Partnership in Uncertain Times: Reflections After the Council Meeting
Last night, I had the opportunity to speak at the Richmond City Council meeting regarding our application for the Health, Social and Safety (HSS) Grant. I was grateful for the chance to represent our congregation, our outreach team, and — most importantly — the hundreds of Richmond residents who rely on our food programs each… Continue reading

February 10 2026 – Yesterday’s Call‑In Program Reminded Me Why SOGI123 Still Matters
Yesterday I joined AM1470’s Special Topic Hotline (Call‑In Program) from 5–6pm as one of the guests discussing the implementation of SOGI123 in schools. The entire program was conducted in Cantonese, which meant the conversation unfolded in the emotional language of our community — the language many of us use when we are most honest, most… Continue reading

February 7 2026 – Reflections on the RLIP Council Meeting
Two days ago, I had the privilege of attending a meeting of the Richmond Local Immigration Partnership (RLIP), an initiative led by S.U.C.C.E.S.S. that brings together organizations across our city who share a common hope: that newcomers to Richmond will not only arrive safely, but truly find a home here. I left the meeting with… Continue reading

Feb 5 2026 – When a Parking Spot Becomes a Lifeline
A few days ago, at a meeting with our outreach team, I heard a story that has stayed with me. It wasn’t dramatic in the way headlines are dramatic. It was quiet, almost ordinary, yet it revealed something profound about what compassion looks like in our city when people refuse to give up on one… Continue reading

January 30 2026 – A Glimpse of Grace on a Winter Day
Today, in the midst of an ordinary week, I witnessed something that quietly reminded me why the work of outreach matters—not only to those we serve, but to the soul of our church. One of our outreach leaders at St. Alban’s shared a simple story, almost in passing. Someone had donated a pair of large-sized… Continue reading
