Homecoming!
Father Alvin Kimel, soon-to-be former Episcopalian priest, of Pontifications fame, is joining the Roman Catholic Church:
Prayers are needed for him and his family.
Many converts, myself among them, have read their way into the Catholic Church. The Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman was said to have written his way into the Church, through his monumental work An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine. Father Kimel may be the first person to have blogged his way into the Church; he says, "Pontifications has been very helpful as I have worked through this struggle."

Father Alvin Kimel, soon-to-be former Episcopalian priest, of Pontifications fame, is joining the Roman Catholic Church:
Last night I tendered my resignation to the Vestry of St. Mark’s Church, effective July 1st. It is my intention to renounce my orders as an Episcopal priest and to enter, for the sake of my salvation, into full communion with the Catholic Church. I freely affirm the Catholic Church to be the one true fold of Jesus Christ.
Prayers are needed for him and his family.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
