As many of you know, I'm an Anglican priest who serves under two bishops: Archbishop Robert Duncan. And Bishop of Pittsburgh. And Bishop George Katwesigye (Bishop of Kigezi.

A family of 6 who have moved to Kabale, Uganda to live, love, and learn with our East African brothers and sisters. Wednesday, February 22, 2012. Razor Blades, Soap, and Cultural Differences.

A family of 6 who have moved to Kabale, Uganda to live, love, and learn with our East African brothers and sisters. Wednesday, May 25, 2011. So what does one write about when one has not posted to one's blog in almost two months? The challenge of finishing my first term of cross-cultural teaching and administering and marking final exams and assignments? The ongoing frustrations, failures, and triumphs of trying to get furniture for our home? Presiding over my first Holy Eucharist service as a priest?

A family of 6 who have moved to Kabale, Uganda to live, love, and learn with our East African brothers and sisters. Sunday, October 24, 2010. Joy in the Journey. In looking back over our blog entries, we've realized that we've written a lot about the hardships of coming to and being in Uganda. There have been joys as well! I asked each member of the family to tell me some of the joys they've experienced here, and here's the report, from youngest to oldest:. I like school, especially playing outside!

Kid Quote of the Week. Zane (handing me a plastic bowl with a rubber ducky inside): "Mama, here is some bessert (dessert) I made for you.". Zane: "It's a duck that I shot myself and then cooked.".
