This afternoon at the Richmond Drop‑In Center, I was reminded again that ministry often begins not with solutions, but with presence.

May 21, 2026 – A Small Story About Doors, Faith, and the People God Never Forgets
A few days ago, a team of Jehovah’s Witnesses came to my home and locked my door latch while they were going door‑to‑door. We had a polite exchange. I told them I used to be one of them — that years ago I admired their passion for sharing their faith, and that I eventually left… Continue reading

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
