Big news for friends and followers of this site! As of July 1, 2026, I will be drawing my 25 years of teaching at Middlebury College to a close. The wonderful people of Central Presbyterian Church in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, have called me to be their pastor and head of staff. While I will miss my colleagues, friends, and students at Middlebury, I am so excited for this opportunity to preach weekly and engage in the project of Capacious Christianity with such a great congregation. Plus, Elizabeth and I will be returning to our Pennsylvania roots! Included below is video of last Sunday’s service at Central, where I preached and the congregation voted on my call. See for yourself what a vibrant community “Central on the Square” is!
