November 13, 2025 – When a Daughter Brings Her Father: A Reflection on Presence, Pain and Possibility
This afternoon, a daughter brought her father to see me. There was no fanfare, just quiet footsteps into the sanctuary, the kind that carry years of weight.

October 2, 2025 – One Month In: Grace in the Everyday
It’s been a month since I began my journey as rector of St Alban’s, and what a month it’s been. They call it the “honeymoon period,” but for me, it’s felt more like a season of grace: full of introductions, invitations, and quiet moments of awe.

September 30, 2025 – Yesterday’s Late Afternoon: Grace on the Trackmill and at the Table
Yesterday in the quiet of late afternoon, I stepped onto the trackmill. I wasn’t chasing speed or distance. I simply needed to move and breathe. I put on a song I’ve known for years, Jesus Paid It All. As I walked, the words began to settle into me in a new way. I hear the Continue reading

September 19, 2025 – Today at St Alban’s: Grace in Action
Every Friday at St Alban’s, our parish hall becomes a place of welcome and warmth. Normally I greet the volunteers, have conversations with our guests, and say grace before the meal.
