A SEMINARIAN'S JOURNEY

Since my days at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in the 1980's it has been my conviction that just about everything that I had learned in seminary could be - with profit - passed along to the people that God was calling me to serve. A decade of ministry within Protestantism and half a decade of service within the Catholic Church only strengthened that conviction. So, last September, when I began my studies in preparation for ordination to the Catholic priesthood, I invited the two group studies that I lead at Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church, Wodbridge, Virginia, to accompany me on my journey to the priesthood in a very particular way. I invited them to three years of biblical and theological studies that would trace the same path that I was following as a part of my priestly formation.

Last week, after launching this blog, it dawned on me that the material that I develop for those studies might benefit from the intellectual and spiritual fine tuning that a blog can facilitate. So, if you think you might be interested in assisting with the formation of a Catholic priest, check back every now and then and join in the fray.
