Following my graduation from Trinity, I was set adrift by my archbishop when he learned that my marriage had broken up. I wouldn't be ordained along with my classmates. But he was willing to give me something, so he sent me as the chaplain to a church camp. It proved to be just what my wounded soul needed. Then, at the end of the summer, he placed me as student-in-charge of a familiar rural congregation, Cookstown, that had been recently abandoned by its familiar minister, Dave Ward. An odd and unconventional start, perhaps, to my ministry. Not being exactly the conventional type, I took it. But it was a small town, and I was a city boy. Nothing about my life would go unnoticed.
