This site is dedicated to the traditional Anglican expression of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We profess the orthodox Christian Faith enshrined in the three great Creeds and the Seven Ecumenical Councils of the ancient undivided Church. We celebrate the Seven Sacraments of the historic Church. We cherish and continue the Catholic Revival inaugurated by the Tractarian or Oxford Movement. Not tepid centrist Anglicanism.

Anniversary of Priestly Ordination
On Saturday 21st December 1996, I was, by the mercy and grace of God, ordained to the Sacred Order of Priests in the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church by the Most Reverend John Thayer Cahoon Junior at Saint Paul's Anglican Catholic Church in Lexington, Virginia. Of your Christian charity, pray for me and my priestly ministry, and pray for the repose of the soul of Bishop John, who entered life eternal in 2001.
To live in the midst of the world without wishing its pleasures; to be a member of each family, yet belonging to one; to share all sufferings; to penetrate all secrets; to heal all wounds; to go from men to God and offer Him their prayers; to return from God to men to bring pardon and hope; to have a heart of fire for charity and a heart of bronze for chastity; to teach and to pardon; console and bless always. My God, what a life! And it is yours, O Priest of Jesus Christ!
