Through involvement with my parish church in Toronto, I committed my life to Christ, and at age 15 I had a clear inner calling to be a priest. Jan and I were married and went to serve as lay workers in Yukon.
Following ordination and theological studies we served in the isolated Gwitchin community of Old Crow, Yukon. I was Rector of a suburban parish in London, Ontario when I was elected Bishop at age 35. Through 28 years, I served Yukon, then Algoma.
Jan and I were participants in three Lambeth Conferences. Early in 2009, I joined ANiC to establish a new parish in Langley. I now lead the Anglican Explorers program to encourage ANiC seed groups and church planters. I am a sessional lecturer at Regent College, Vancouver. Jan and I have 6 grown children, 7 grandchildren, and one great-grandson.
