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

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

January 24 2026 – A Quiet Miracle of Unity: Reflections on the 2026 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in Richmond
This year’s Week of Prayer for Christian Unity carried a special meaning for me. Although I have participated in these gatherings several times in the past—and even had the privilege of hosting one before moving—this was my first time joining the ecumenical service here in Richmond since arriving in BC five years ago. In many… Continue reading

January 16, 2026 – Retreat Reflections: Companionship, Courage, and New Possibilities (Loon Lake Retreat Centre, January 12-15)
I returned from the Loon Lake retreat with a full heart and a renewed sense of companionship on a journey that can often feel lonely. From January 12 to 15, a group of Chinese‑speaking ministers and church leaders gathered for a time of rest, reflection, and conversation. The retreat was fully funded by the United… Continue reading

December 27, 2025 – From Christmas Eve Worship to Boxing Day Community Service
Christmas this year unfolded for me across two very different but deeply connected days. December 24 and December 26. On Christmas Eve, we gathered for a Holy Communion service that felt quietly joyful and surprisingly full. A few days before the service, our families had decided to prepare something simple, baked cookies to share with… Continue reading

Dec 20, 2025 – Standing Together at Beth Tikvah Synagogue in Richmond, BC
Today, I was invited to attend a service at Beth Tikvah Congregation & Centre in Richmond, BC, by Rabbi Susie Tendler. I reached out to Rabbi Susie Tendler on the day I first heard the news of the antisemitic shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, simply to express care and solidarity. I went today… Continue reading

Dec 11, 2025 – A Bruised Reed He Will Not Break
Today I had the privilege of sharing coffee with Rev. Lauren Kirkey at South Arm United Church. Our conversation reminded me of the heart of pastoral care, not about changing people but about walking alongside them with presence and compassion. As we spoke, I realized how much we share this approach. Both of us believe… Continue reading
