Policy Reminder

This site is a personal web log (blog), it is a diary of sorts, and expresses personal perceptions and experiences as a priest and family man.

I share my thoughts freely to friends and those who have found interest in this strange priest's life. There is no goal but to share some things I believe are "safe" and does not betray confidentiality. By this I mean that I am not revealing and private information inappropriate for the web or that compromise my position as priest and rector of a parish.

Though this is not a parish site, it does have parish pictures on the site, and I share information and mission elements on behalf of the parish. They are maintained by myself and not by a vestry or team. I include them on my site as being part of the vocation to which I have been called; I see this as mission and evangelism. I have recently included a blog on the changes within my parish, made by myself. I have used this forum to express my reasoning behind such changes, as a means of communication, but not as the soul means of communication. A letter will go to all parishioners which describe the reasoning behind change. This particular blog expresses concerns that all churches are feeling, especially the financial drop. It is not a slight to the parish but the reality of the situation throughout the communion. My hope continues to be that people will find some comfort in the blog knowing that many share the same fears, hopes and dreams of family and of church.

Please remember that comments made are visible to the wider community and thus to comment means that all can read it. Many of you are friends and I welcome comment; actually I encourage it. Just be aware that I do reserve the right to delete, change and censor any information inappropriate to this site. If we get [many comments not desired... I used the real word and began what I wished to prevent] I will need to rethink the blog, fortunately we have not been a victim of malice.
