My Interests

Dorion Bible Camp & Conference Centre --owned & operated by CSSM Ministries - It was there at age 12 that I put my trust in Christ. I have been on summer staff since 1978 and in 1987 I joined the parent organization C.S.S.M. Ministries, as DBCCC's Programme Director. From 1998 until 2003 I also took on the Registrar duties. Autumn 2002 Prayer Letter (Pic links are dead.)

Tragically, on April 19, 2004 I was let go not-for-cause and without explanation a little over a month before my one year's Health Leave of Absence (for Stress) was scheduled to end. I had been declared fit for work, but to this day I do not understand what their reasons were for bringing this long relationship to an end.

Then from Sept. '04 until Nov. '07 I served as Youth Ministry Facilitator for the Anglican Deanery of Thunder Bay and as Youth Co-ordinator for St. Thomas' Anglican Church of Thunder Bay from Sept. '05 until Oct. '07 at which point I was hired as Minister of The Northwood Park Church .

The Northwood Park Church of Christ - Since c. age 12 I have been involved at the Northwood Park Church. I was baptized at 16 and have found a great sense of family among these people, many of whom I expect will prove to be life-long friends. I have been the Minister since October 2007.

Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship - A source of much encouragement and spiritual instruction throughout my high-school and Lakehead University days. For years I continued to be involved as a sponsor at Churchill and Hammarskjold High and as the secretary of the Thunder Bay IV Area Committee.

My Music - "The Transparencies", my recordings, influences and interests.

"The Inkwell" - This was a writers group to which I used to belong. We met once a month usually at the home of Marianne Jones and put on a few public readings. November 20, '99 we featured the poetry of Tim Lappala, published as Crushing St. Brendan's Head by blablabla press.

Other interests of varying degrees include matters of language and culture, history (especially British and Church history), Star Trek (especially Nitpicking), hockey, combatting the spread of Urban Legends, collecting vinyl LP's (c. 1,400 albums), meaningful conversation, good humour and long walks on the beach --and, oh yes, I really hate yo-yos.
