I'm the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Louisiana and the Chancellor of Sewanee: The University of the South.
My writing focuses on faith and the spiritual life. I've published seven books and offer reflections in a weekly Substack newsletter called The Woodlands.
Before ordination, I was a philosophy professor and wrote about human consciousness and how we find meaning in life.
Married since since 1983, my wife Joy and I have three adult children, three young grandchildren, and an affectionate rescue dog named Gracie.
