I’m an Episcopal priest, husband to Bryna, father to Benedict (13) and Zachary (11), and “master” to Delilah (about 50 in dog years). Since 2009 I’ve been the rector of the Episcopal Parish of St. John the Evangelist in Hingham, Massachusetts (on the South Shore of Boston). I’ve also served parishes in Maryland and New York and am the creator of the popular devotional Lent Madness.
When I’m not tending to my parish, hanging out with my family, or writing, I can usually be found drinking good coffee — not that drinking coffee and these other activities are mutually exclusive.
I hope you’ll visit my website at www.frtim.com to find out more about me, read some excerpts from my book “What Size are God’s Shoes: Kids, Chaos & the Spiritual Life” (Morehouse, 2008), and check out some recent sermons.
Blessings,

Dear Tim,
I had 14 minutes on your blog tonight – and delightful minutes they were!
Congratulations on this new beginning!
All the best as you blog with the rest,
Pam
Thanks, Pam. Just remember, you’ll never get those 14 minutes back!!

Tim,
I enjoy what you have posted to your page. I FINALLY did the e-mail subscri[tion (you know how us Episcolians are) and am looking forward to notifications. One question though. I am the editor of out church newsletter (St. Alban’s Epistle, Bay City Michigan) and am curious about your usage rules. There are few things I would love to include in our newsletter. I will refrain until I hear though. Please let me know.
Thnx
Mike
Thanks, Mike. Feel free to have at anything you find on here — I’d just appreciate attribution and a link back to the blog (if it’s online). As the editor of a church newsletter, know that your reward will be in heaven.
Peace,
Tim+
Thank you so much. More then glad to attribute it to you. I have put in the web address as well. We are working on bringing our congregation into the cyber age but as a group they are fighting it.
Thought I would let you know that I was suffering a little bit of a mental block for my own peace in the newsletter. Reading some of your blogs got me thinking again and the fingers started to move once more.
Again I thank you for the good reads and the inspirations you provide.
Mike
I stumbled onto your site tonight and enjoyed your perspective and sense of humor. Did your father happen to have been a Baptist pastor? Your name rings a bell.
Nope. He was a symphony orchestra conductor who died much too young at 52. Glad you found me!
