Working with Bishop Shaw and Bishop Allen Gates, it showed him how to give them options and holy choices and invite them to decide navigating. Theological decisions that may not always come to light in the present but come to fruition, such as the Gospel stories from Easter. We don't always know the impact we are having until we are long gone.

The story of one person who inspired Billy Graham's revival and how that changed his direction to become a great evangelist. Bp. Sam now considers himself a North Carolinian, his New England self has given way to his experiences here in NC. He trends toward Eastern NC, BBQ, and loves all the excellent food the local parishes offer and those fabulous deviled eggs.

The new look of the American pope and the formation of his Holy Order is similar to that of Francis.  He is very respectful of the traditions and theology.  He seamlessly blends the traditions in a challenging time.

We want to thank Bishop Sam for this rich time and the NC Diocese for supporting the Seekin' Deacon.
