April 18, 2026 – Walking the Way of Christ in a Troubled World: A Holy Week Reflection
This Holy Week at St. Alban’s was full, stretching, and filled with grace. Each morning we gathered for prayer, and each evening we stepped again into the story that holds us — from the palms and hosannas of Sunday, to the basin and towel of Thursday, to the stark cross of Friday, to the long… Continue reading

April 18, 2026 – Listening to Palestinians and Jewish Neighbours: Holding Two Truths in Richmond
In recent weeks, I found myself standing in two very different spaces — yet both revealed something essential about the human longing for safety, dignity, and belonging. The first was the Richmond for Palestine gathering. I went to listen, to learn, and to understand what Palestinian families have been facing for generations. In the stories… Continue reading

April 13 2026 – Remembering, Grieving, and Responding: Marking 10 Years of the Public Health Emergency in British Columbia
Yesterday, I had the honour of attending a community gathering marking the 10th anniversary of the public health emergency related to drug toxicity in British Columbia.

March 19, 2026 – From Film to Conversation: A Journey Toward Mental Health Awareness
An Evening That Opened a Door Sometimes, what begins as a simple invitation becomes something much deeper. Last night, sitting in a darkened theatre, I found myself drawn into a story that was not easy to watch—but one that felt necessary to witness.

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
