An Old Priest
Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life. When I was in the phase of my life that I did the most soul searching I was friends with an Episcopal priest. I shared with him my spiritual yearnings and the things I was writing at the time. He was always…

Sacralizing My Worldview
I grew up Episcopalian. My father, an Episcopal priest, more than anything taught me the moral lessons of the Bible. I also learned the Nicene Creed and the weekly confessional prayer by rote.
