‘The world has changed. In a world screaming in a thousand directions for our focus, its essential for us to become attentive to God, our congregation, and our community’.

He’s been both a long time Presbyterian pastor and professor of pastoral leadership and evangelism at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary.
