Aug 24 Nashotah Orientation
We are a young married couple on a long-term exploration of our vocation. In 2008, that journey took us to India. Beginning this fall, we will be studying at Nashotah House, an small Anglo-Catholic seminary in Wisconsin, where our lives will revolve around prayer, study, and work, in the classical Benedictine rhythm.
For information about us, our projects, past adventures, and the things we are interested in and involved in, use the links to the left. To read more about our life and vision now, use the links above. You can also skip directly to our blog.
Guest Room
We look forward to making hospitality something that we can offer during our time at Seminary, inviting others to cenobetically share with us for a few days in our life of prayer and study. Check back in mid- to late-August for more details.
Giving
As you feel called, we welcome contributions to our development and vision. Our community past, present, and future — people who are invested in us and in our mission — form a big part of the mechanism through which God supports and sustains us financially, as well as spiritually and emotionally.

The purpose of this website is to
- Provide a place to process and codify our thoughts and experiences
- Share our thoughts, dreams, and adventures with our friends and family
- Help others get to know us and build connections around the world

Happy New Year
edited 1263991254|%O| ago
A new year has come along, and we’ve got one semester of Nashotah House under our belts, and another looming on the horizon. At such an auspicious moment, I thought that I would take a few moments to reflect on and share some of the things that we have been doing and learning and thinking about over the past few months.

Nashotah Anglican - Orthodox Conference
edited 1255391810|%O| ago
This weekend I had the privilege of witnessing what may very well have been an historic event. Nashotah House hosted an Anglican-Orthodox Ecumenical conference, which, besides being quite interesting and inspiring, was also quite well-attended by men who wear purple and tall hats. Seriously — I don't think I have seen so many Bishops in the course of my whole life — much less in one room.
Matriculation
edited 1254993468|%O| ago
Thursday night, I matriculated. That's right. I signed my name in the Book, and I'm now officially a Son of the House. Which means, among other things, I now have the opportunity to be buried in the Nashotah House cemetery. Not sure if I'll take them up on that, though—I think I wait till after graduation to decide. (Lord willing that I graduate, and indeed that I live that long.)
Starting Classes
edited 1252875776|%O| ago
After one (disorienting) week of orientation, and two weeks of classes at Nashotah House, I can report, quite gladly, that we are thoroughly enjoying ourselves. Thus far, life here is both what we expected and what we wanted. We are having a blast.
Bumpy Beginnings

Sarah and I are on the road again. Well, sort of.
