Welcome to A Different Kind of Christian. This is my personal blog. I currently find myself in seminary in Alexandria, Virginia on my way to ordination as an Episcopal priest. Previously I lived in San Diego where I worked as the Episcopal Campus Missioner at the University of California, San Diego. Before that I was a missionary volunteer at a foster home in Tegucigalpa Honduras.

We must not subliminally introject the cross–and, logically, the resurrection–as good things in liturgy and private devotion but with nothing serious to say about the reality the church has to take on. -Jon Sobrino
