Twenty-five years on

Twenty-five years ago today, I was ordained to the “ministry of the Gospel” by Canon Universalist Church, Canon, Georgia. I published the ordination service five years ago, and here’s a picture from the day when my beard was much darker.

I could not have imagined then what would later happen, but I have been grateful for the opportunities and consoled in my disappointments. But most unexpected is that a new stream of Universalists have come forth. A quarter-century ago I worried I was at the end of those who preached and believed in God’s complete salvation, but now I know I am not.

My thanks to those who taught me, supported me, ministered with me and walked along the way.
