Today I returned to school after thirty years. This blog is intended to be a bit of a reflection of that new reality in my life. After 30 years in ordained ministry - I am presently the Parish Priest at Holy Protection Orthodox Church in Fort Saskatchewan - I am at the same time studying to become a High School Teacher at King's University College in Edmonton. It's a two year endeavour - two years in which I will be juggling Parish and University, family and fellow students, parishioners and cohort.

What does it mean to be a bi-vocational priest in the Orthodox Church?
What will it mean to be a bi-vocational teacher in a local school?
What does it mean to be an "old guy" among predominantly younger folk?

Along the way I hope to make some sense of life's uncertainties - at least the ones which I will be experiences, and God-willing, this will resonate....
