Hi all, and welcome to my website. Thanks for stopping by. To those who already know me, glad you are visiting, feel free to skip this hokey intro. For the casual visitor, let me introduce myself: I'm an Episcopal priest at St. James' Church in New York City - you can follow the link below to that website, it's very cool - and I have one book published as you can see from the surroundings, and two books on the way. Hope to get those done soon.

If you click on Works above you can see some of what I've done and some of what I hope to do. If you click on the heading that says Trips, you can see where I am for the next two weeks as I take my first trip to the Middle East to research the possibility of leading a trip for parishioners. You can also see a photo album of my family's trip to Spain two summers ago to hike portions of the pilgrimage trail to Santiago de Compostela. Everything else here should be self-explanatory.

Enjoy! - Craig
