I am a recently retired Anglican priest, continuing ministry as spiritual director, teacher, mentor, and grandfather. I was ordained as a Lutheran pastor in 1981 and as an Anglican priest in 2010. I served as parish pastor and church planter in Germany, Chicago, Augusta, St. Louis, St Paul, Plano, and Louisville.

Through four decades of diverse ministry in a variety of settings, my passion has been to help people be with Jesus, and to grow in their capacity to listen deeply and prayerfully to God. Now I do this work primarily through spiritual direction, introducing people to spiritual practices such as lectio divina, centering prayer, silence, and solitude.

I have been married for 45 years to Dr. Nancy Going; we live just outside Nashville, Tennessee, and have two adult children and six grandchildren.
